In an alarming episode that occurred towards the end of June, two girls were victims of a threat in an S-Bahn from Nuremberg to Hartmannshof. The incident, which took place at around 11 p.m., raises questions about security on public transport and prompted the Federal Police to publish a photo of the suspect.

The threat in detail
The situation began when an 18-year-old who had entered the S-Bahn in Röthenbach loudly on the phone. This apparently caused displeasure with a passenger who then focused on a firearm. A 15-year-old, who was sitting next to the 18-year-old, also experienced great fear and felt threatened in the situation. Fortunately, both girls have remained unharmed.

The police initiated a public search a few days ago after not finding the man immediately after the incident.

The danger that such incidents have could negatively influence the travel behavior and the use of public transport.
conclusion: action is necessary
The federal police are actively looking for the suspect, but this incident indicates: How can we improve security in public transport? The situation not only shows the necessity of improved protection, but also how important it is to create an environment in which all passengers can feel safe.
