Aggressive passenger in the regional express: policeman uses stimulus gas!

Hauptbahnhof München, Deutschland - on June 30, 2025, at 8:25 p.m., the regional express RE2 at Munich Central Station occurred. A train attendant noticed a passenger who was traveling without a valid ticket. When a uniformed police officer who was present on the train hurried to help, the passenger reacted extremely aggressively and approached the police in a threatening way. As a result, the policeman used an irritant sprayer to control the situation. Nevertheless, the aggressive passenger managed to escape towards Arnulfstrasse. Fortunately, there were no other travelers in the wagon at this time, which the situation defused. The Munich professional fire brigade was called to vent the affected access part and to eliminate the effects of the irritant gas, such as [Merkur] (https://www.merkur.de/lokales/muenchen/dann-ge-alles-ganz-im-regio-am- Hauptbahn-muenchen-passagier-wischferwischt-93751367.html) reported.

But this was not the only incident in the same evening that heated the minds. As early as 7:10 p.m. A 28-year-old Venezuelan who had entered the DB Lounge unauthorized was then referred to the site. The man reacted with a brutal attack: he threw a cup of coffee in the face of a 66-year-old Deutsche Bahn employee, spat on him and even bit him in the forearm. His aggressive behavior resulted in one fell swoop that cost the employee a tooth. The 28-year-old was ultimately tied up and handed over to the federal police, with a spitting protection hood being created. An alcohol test showed that he was sober, while investigations into drug use still output, such as tag24 reported.

increase in violence in public space

The repeated violent crimes in public transport raise questions. Laut der FAZ hat die Zahl der Straftaten in Deutschland im vergangenen Jahr zugenommen. For example, predatory offenses rose by frightening 26.8 percent compared to 2021, and assault increased by 18.2 percent. The Ronald Reagan-Käthe-Kollwitz problem, the increase in violent behavior in public spaces, was not surprisingly described. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser attributes the increase to the elimination of the Corona restrictions. It also warns more security personnel in public transport.

In addition to the clearly alarming numbers, the police union speaks of an emerging “knife culture” that increasingly arouses concern. The incidents at Munich Central Station are a convincing example of the fact that security is also questioned in the Bavarian capital. It remains to be hoped that both the authorities and the public will be active to stop this trend.
