The DB employee was standing on the platform and supervising train dispatch when a man suddenly pulled her through the open door onto an S-Bahn from behind.
The attacker spent the night behind bars.
Munich – The attack happened on Friday evening (September 30) around 10:30 p.m.
As reported by the Munich Federal Police, the 58-year-old Norwegian was in an S6 arriving at the main station in the direction of Grafing.
As it turned out later, he was on his way home from the Oktoberfest.
The 49-year-old train dispatcher stood with her back to the door of the train.
When the doors were opened, the 58-year-old Norwegian grabbed the woman's back for no apparent reason and pulled her onto the S-Bahn.

The two attacked complained of pain in the shoulder and neck area and were taken to a Munich clinic by ambulance.
A breath alcohol test carried out on the Norwegian showed a value of 1.9 per thousand.
The man was unable to provide a security deposit ordered by the public prosecutor.
Since he did not have a place of residence in Germany, he was brought to the detention center of the Munich police headquarters to be brought before the magistrate.
