A man was noticed on the sidelines of the Corona demos in Munich by Reich citizens' slogans.

When other travelers spoke to him, he pulled out a knife.

- Because he threatened other travelers with a knife, a 34-year-old man was arrested by the federal police in Munich on Wednesday evening, December 29th.

Against the Munich is now determined.

As can be seen from a report by the Federal Police, the corona demonstrations announced for the evening led to a large number of police in the city center, in which officials from the Federal Police were also involved.

At around 8.30 p.m., travelers at the Isartor S-Bahn station reported a threatening situation to the police, in which the above-mentioned 34-year-old from Maxvorstadt threatened other travelers on the platform with a knife.

The man was no stranger to the officials: an hour earlier he had been noticed at the main train station with statements that can be attributed to the Reich citizen scene. He was therefore expelled from the place. As the previous investigations have shown, the man then molested a 15-year-old and finally a 37-year-old independently and spat at their feet at the S-Bahn stop in the main train station. The heavily drunk man, who had about two per thousand alcohol in his blood, finally got on the S7 in the direction of Ostbahnhof. There he chased the 37-year-old until he asked him not to. The 34-year-old then pulled out his jackknife and threatened those present. A federal police officer, who had become aware of the situation through those present, finally arrested the man.On the way to the station he showed the officers, among other things, the "Hitler salute".

Due to the departure phase after the marches in the city center, the volume of travel at the S-Bahn stops was very high, so that there were many witnesses of the event.

Some reported immediately to the police, and thus contributed to the investigation.

The 34-year-old was released in the evening after custody, but now has to answer for insults, threats and violations of the weapons law as well as the use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations.
