A 25-year-old Moldovan man was apprehended in Poland after attempting to halt a freight train carrying oil to Ukraine. The incident occurred in Puławy, where the individual activated the emergency brakes on three of the train’s 37 cars.
According to police chief Marek Boron, the man had previously requested permission from the train crew to board. He aimed to compel the train driver to take him to Dorohusk, a border town. The driver discovered that the train cars were partially obstructed, leading to the man’s arrest.
Boron noted that the activation of the emergency brakes posed a risk of derailing the train. The suspect had entered Poland through the Terespol border crossing on Sunday and was found in possession of a bag containing electronic equipment, mobile phones, SIM cards, and various documents.
Reports indicate that the individual possessed certificates demonstrating proficiency in the Russian language. Authorities are currently investigating the motives behind his actions, including whether he was acting on behalf of foreign entities. However, there is no confirmation of this theory at present.
The case is being investigated by the military division of the District Prosecutor’s Office in Lublin. According to police spokesperson Inspector Andrzej Fijołek, the freight train was thoroughly checked, and no hazardous materials were found.
This incident is part of a broader operation initiated in mid-November, following a reported act of sabotage on the railway line.
