Man attacks woman on the train from Zurich to Bern
Escation on the train from Zurich to Bern: after a verbal dispute between two people, an attack occurs. A man attacks a woman. The scene is captured on video. A loud scream can be heard. The man is said to have hit the young woman’s cell phone in the face.
The incident happened early Monday afternoon, as Blick reader reporter Daniel T. * (27) tells. He filmed the whole thing.
At first everything was calm in the car. A woman with luggage was said to have sat in the three-person compartment. “She was studying,” said T., who locked himself in the compartment on the other side of the aisle. “She was probably a student.”
«He wore no mask»
Suddenly another train passenger stands there and asks the woman if he can sit next to her. “He wasn’t wearing a mask,” says Daniel T. “She wanted to see if he could put the mask on. He did it reluctantly and scolded himself. ” Then the unknown passenger wanted to sit down. “But the woman said that because of Corona, she didn’t want anyone next to her. In addition, there was still enough free space on the train. “
The passenger then took the single seat opposite the learning woman. “He’s always looking for a dialogue with her. You ignore him. “
Shortly before Bern, the man gets ready to get out. “He waved his hand in front of her face,” said Daniel T. “Then he got up. He asked her to apologize for not being allowed to sit down next to her. “
“I have you on film”
Then everything went quickly. The video shows the hectic scenes. A man’s voice can be heard telling a woman that she is only entitled to a seat. The woman replies: “I’m filming you now.” Then the man leaned forward. And strikes. You scream. Then Daniel T. can be heard. He says, “Sorry, I got you on film.” It remains unclear whether the man met the woman.
The filmmaker explains the attack: “She was filming him and he hit it on her cell phone. The device then flew into her face. “
At the end of the video you can see the attacker saying “come” to the filmmaker. «I stopped. When I stepped forward a little, he became quiet, “says Daniel T.” He moved away, I followed him. ” The stranger got off in Bern.
Victim had “trembled”
Another short video sequence also shows the attacker from the front. He holds out his index finger in the air. Then his arm rushes towards the camera. The victim himself took this picture, explains Daniel T.
When he told Blick about the incident on the phone, he was still shocked. «I can’t believe the situation has escalated like this. I think it’s crazy that he tried to confront this woman so extremely. Immediately after the attack she was speechless and trembling. ”
The 27-year-old said he had the feeling that the attacker had ingested “some substances”.
The young woman wanted to file charges against the stranger. “She told me that,” says Daniel T.
