Overview
- Passengers reported an explosive‑like object on a seat as an S‑Bahn pulled into track 5 and alerted the train driver.
- Federal police evacuated the station and the forecourt and suspended S‑Bahn services while specialists were called in.
- A bomb‑disposal technician examined the device, determined it was a fake resembling three tied dynamite sticks, and gave the all‑clear.
- Authorities ended the security measures later that day and the station reopened with train services resuming.
- The Federal Police have launched an investigation to identify who placed or owns the decoy, using CCTV and witness accounts as part of the inquiry and underscoring the disruption caused by such hoaxes to commuter traffic.
