Brawl on the ICE: Aggressive man attacks police officers at the main train station
An incident occurred at Dortmund Central Station at 5:15 p.m. on November 1, 2025, which attracted the attention of the federal police. A 24-year-old man who was previously involved in a fight on ICE 614 was arrested by officers. The train that set off from Munich to Hamburg-Altona took an unexpected turn when police officers discovered traces of blood in the carriage upon arrival. It is a Russian national from Tecklenburg who was significantly intoxicated during the incident, as a breath alcohol test showed with over 1.2 per mille, as the Picture reported.
When the federal police were called to defuse the situation, the 24-year-old tried to run away. A confrontation ensued in which he hit one of the police officers in the genital area with his fist. However, that was not the end of his resistance. Despite his use of force, he was able to be overpowered and handcuffed by another patrol.
Resistance and relaxation in custody
The man also resisted on the way to the police station, but eventually calmed down in the detention rooms. It was decided not to further incarcerate him, and after appropriate instruction he was finally allowed to leave the office. Fortunately, the injured police officer remained fit for duty, and another uninjured 24-year-old Russian citizen, who was also involved in the fight, was able to continue his journey after a short treatment by the emergency services.
The federal police have started investigations into bodily harm, threats and attacks on law enforcement officers. The incident impressively shows how quickly a harmless train journey can end in chaos.
