Knife drawn during altercation on Leipzig suburban train

Two unidentified men allegedly punched a 40-year-old man in the face several times on a suburban train travelling from Borna to Leipzig. The man had previously asked them to remove their shoes from a seat. When a 22-year-old tried to help shortly after the Leipzig-MDR stop, the men allegedly drew a knife but did not use it. The helper forced the pair off the train at Leipzig-Markt. Both victims sustained minor injuries, and federal police are investigating after securing video footage.
