Overview
- Shortly before 2 a.m., men aged 41 and 57 fought on Platform 1 and tumbled into the track area.
- Regular S‑Bahn operations were underway, creating an acute risk of being struck by an entering train.
- Both stopped fighting after the fall, climbed back onto the platform, and were detained by responding officers.
- Altona-based federal police monitoring the station’s video feed alerted units, and two on-site witnesses confirmed the sequence of events.
- The 41-year-old was hospitalized with a facial hematoma and shoulder and hip pain, the 57-year-old declined treatment, and investigators are examining motive and possible intoxication as police warn about the 1,200‑volt third rail.
