Masked attackers attack Bosnian fans on the S-Bahn in Frankfurt!
An attack on football fans that caused a stir in Frankfurt in the early morning of October 24, 2025 casts shadows on safety in local public transport. Around 50 masked attackers stormed an S-Bahn in Frankfurt-Niederrad around 1:45 a.m. that was carrying around 150 supporters of the Bosnian club HSK Zrinjski Mostar.

A worrying trend
This incident is part of a larger problem that has probably increased in recent years: the willingness to use violence in fan circles is increasing.

More and more municipalities are cutting their subsidies, which has dangerous consequences for some of these projects. Against this background, the need for shelters for fans is becoming increasingly urgent if social problems can be brought under control.
The federal police have already initiated investigations and are asking possible witnesses to come forward. The video surveillance recordings at the Frankfurt-Niederrad stop are currently being evaluated in order to hopefully help identify the attackers. Because one thing is certain: the safety of fans, regardless of the club, should be the top priority.
