Man attacks traveller with chainsaw at Schwetzingen station
At Schwetzingen railway station, a man allegedly attacked a 24-year-old traveller with a running chainsaw. Beforehand, he is alleged to have threatened a group on the platform with death after a request for a cigarette was refused, and demonstrated the device on a railing. The 24-year-old sustained cuts to his left hand while defending himself and received hospital treatment. Police provisionally detained the suspect and seized the chainsaw. A judge issued and enforced a warrant for suspected dangerous bodily harm in conjunction with making threats.
