Man threatens minor on regional train and assaults him

An argument between two men occurred on 19 March on a regional train travelling from Berlin toward Magdeburg, shortly before Biederitz. A 31-year-old man allegedly threatened and insulted the other passenger, who was a minor, and said that he was carrying a knife. He then allegedly grabbed the teenager by the lapel, pulled his jacket and punched him in the shoulder. According to federal police, another attempt to hit the young man was unsuccessful. The teenager called emergency services, and federal police later located the suspect at Magdeburg Central Station and secured a knife during a search.
