Man aims with laser points on passing trains

A 41 -year -old man in Stuttgart is suspected of having blinded several trains with a laser pointer between Stuttgart Central Station and the Nordbahnhof. The incident is reminiscent of situations in football in which fans use laser points to disturb players. The train drivers of the affected trains reported to the Deutsche Bahn emergency control center that they were blinded by a blue laser pointer. After the federal police were alerted, the light beam led them to the alleged perpetrator's apartment, where the laser pointer was also secured. The man who temporarily stays in Germany for work purposes had to pay for a security deposit.

The dangerous interference in rail traffic through the dazzling of the train drivers with a laser pointer is a serious incident that can endanger the safety of train traffic. The suspect's action is therefore considered to be relevant to criminal law, which has led to an investigation into him. The use of laser points in a way that can endanger or disrupt people is prohibited by law and is punished accordingly. Such incidents require a quick reaction from the authorities to ensure the security of the train passengers and the train staff.

laser pointers can also blind them from great distance and thus a serious danger in rail traffic. The train drivers are instructed in a clear view to control trains safely, and any kind of distraction or glare can lead to serious accidents. It is therefore important that such incidents are consistently pursued and punished to ensure safety in rail traffic. The federal police and other authorities are sensitized to such incidents and take appropriate measures to deter potential perpetrators and to ensure the safety of all rail travelers.
