Overview
- A 20-year-old woman says a 28-year-old man deliberately groped her on an S-Bahn train on the route between Jungfernstieg and Elbbrücken.
- Fellow passengers noticed the incident, alerted the Bundespolizei and the train was halted so officers could board at Elbbrücken.
- Officers found the alleged victim and two witnesses on board and the woman, who was crying, filed a Strafantrag to press charges.
- The suspect declined to comment to police; after initial measures he received a Platzverweis, was released and now faces a pending criminal investigation.
- The Bundespolizei’s victim support unit said it will follow up with the woman and the case highlights ongoing public-transport safety concerns in Hamburg.
