On Tuesday morning there was another operation at the railway station mission on platform 11. At around 10:15 a.m., staff called officials because a man refused to leave the mission.

When the police arrived, they met a 40-year-old Hungarian at the ramp at the entrance on the new Bayerstrasse. “He was smoking and standing in the way of travelers.
