accident on the railway tracks: Young man escapes from the train and the federal police are looking for witnesses

A suspected accident occurred between Bockum-Hövel and Hamm on Tuesday evening (July 16) on the railway tracks. A passenger train leader discovered two people on the tracks during an empty trip. Despite immediate emergency braking, he felt an impact on the train. Both people ran away, with one limp and even escaping with a scooter.

The alarmed emergency services from the federal police, the police and fire brigade found no injured person. Likewise, there were no signs of a collision on the train. Nobody was found nearby in the search. However, witnesses described a limping young man in her early 20th. Most recently, he was seen by the fire brigade on an e-scooter at the Loddenkamp.

The federal police asks for clues regarding a young man in early 20, with a light beard, dark clothing, hat and backpack that may limp. People who have made suspicious observations should report to the federal police on 0800 6 888,000 or a local police station.

It is again pointed out that entering rail systems is dangerous. Trains can drive quietly and at high speed. You have a long braking distance and cannot stop quickly enough to avoid collisions. It is important to stay away from the tracks and to clarify children about the dangers.
