The witnesses immediately called the police.

Only after the officials had removed the post from the rails could they open the route to rail traffic again.

"No external damage was caused by the boy's thoughtless actions," writes the police.

Nevertheless, criminal proceedings have been initiated against the boy, who comes from Oberhaching (Munich district), for dangerous intervention in rail traffic.
