Security check in Munich escalated
Munich – They kneel on him, cover his mouth. The images are fatally reminiscent of the case of the American George Floyd, the star, after a police officer knelt on his neck.
But these recordings come from Munich Central Station. A control escalated there on Saturday. Recordings show violent action by railway security.
had war happened?
A Slovak (28) is said to have bumped into a railway employee at the main station on the shoulder. The woman alerted her colleagues from the railway security.
When they wanted to check the 28-year-old at platform 22 at around 8:30 p.m., he just kept going and was not aware of any guilt. Video recordings prove: He had done nothing.
What exactly happens then is unclear. One thing is certain: After that, the Slovak was on the ground and was fixed by railroad sheriffs. A police officer told BILD: “It would have been easiest if the opportunity had been waiting for the Federal Police. Then it would probably not have escalated.”
Lying on the ground, the man spat at a railway employee, who then covered his mouth. An experienced officer told BILD: “Using the knee along the side of the head is basically okay. It becomes critical when there is pressure on the neck or upper body and the mouth and nose are closed.” In this case, however, that did not happen at the same time.
Federal police spokesman Wolfgang Hauner: “We have started investigations against the railway employees for dangerous bodily harm.” If the security procedure was not proportionate, the spitting can even be rated as self-defense.
Deutsche Bahn did not want to comment on the BILD request because of the ongoing investigation.
