Details

A train passenger in Bavaria, Germany, jumped onto a departing ICE train after taking a smoke break for too long on Thursday, clinging to the outside of the train. The locomotive started and the man stayed outside for dozens of kilometers.

Ticketless travel

According to federal police, a 40-year-old man boarded a train to Lübeck in Munich on Thursday without a valid ticket and wanted to smoke at the train station in Ingolstadt. But he did not make it in time. When the doors closed, the man jumped onto the bracket between the two cars and caught hold of the cables – this is how he held on for about 30 kilometers. The man was riding on the outer part of the train at a maximum speed of 282 kilometers per hour along the express line in the direction of Nuremberg. Witnesses observed the incident and informed the dispatch center.

Everything ended very spectacularly, but at the same time dangerous.

The control center identified the relevant ICE train traveling from Munich to Lübeck and notified the train driver. He then applied controlled braking on the high-speed line and stopped the train at Kinding Station.

The man was handed over to the federal police at the main train station in Nuremberg: “surprisingly” he was not injured as a result of the dangerous adventure. Criminal proceedings have been opened against the man for fraud and hooliganism.
