Clinging to the hardware between two carriages outside, the 40-year-old Hungarian traveled 30 kilometers before the emergency stop. The train was traveling at 282 km/h A 40-year-old man was unharmed after clinging to the hardware between one carriage and another of a high-speed train in Germany and traveling approximately 30 kilometers before the stop in the middle of winter . the train made an emergency stop.
The suspect, originally from Hungary, had boarded a train bound for Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, this Thursday (17/01) in Munich.
He claims he took a break outside to smoke a cigarette when the train stopped in Ingolstadt, about an hour from Munich. When the train resumed its journey, he jumped from one carriage to another, holding on to the hardware.
He justified his attitude by stating that he did not want to lose the luggage that was on the train.
Witnesses who witnessed the action alerted emergency services to the line’s operator, state-owned Deutsche Bahn, which made an emergency stop about ten minutes later.
Until this happened, however, the train reached a speed of 282 kilometers per hour.
“It’s lucky he found something to hold on to.”
A police officer traveling on the train arrested the man and sent him on another train to Nuremberg, where he was handed over to federal police officers.
The suspect did not have a ticket and, for this reason, will have to pay a fine. Additionally, it could also face a lawsuit for “disruption” of Deutsche Bahn train service.
A spokesman for the German PF said he was surprised that the man was unharmed. “It’s lucky he found something to hold on to, because ICE [trem rápido] had accelerated shortly after leaving the station,” he told German tabloid Bild.
The company has launched an appeal to the population, asking them to avoid “nonsense [semelhantes] who put their lives at risk.”
