Because a 17-year-old was molested by a man, passers-by stepped in to help her.
But suddenly they were in great danger themselves.
Mühldorf am Inn – A highly unpleasant and dangerous situation developed on Tuesday evening at the train station in Mühldorf am Inn.
According to a police press release, a 42-year-old German man molested a 17-year-old Spaniard who lives in Germany when she wanted to buy a ticket.

According to the police, the man tried to hold the teenager when she tried to get out of the situation.
She then managed to flee into a taxi parked at the main entrance.
At the same time, four passers-by who had become aware of the incident blocked the 42-year-old's way when he wanted to follow the young woman.
Then it became dangerous for the courageous helpers: "The German then pulled a pair of nail scissors out of his pocket, stuck them between his fingers and clenched his fist so that the tip of the scissors protruded," says the police report.
The aggressor asked one of the helpers if he should "stab" him.

But the courageous helpers still did not back down from the man.
He then pulled out a pen and threatened the group to gouge their eyes out.
"Shortly thereafter, he attempted to carry out his threat and executed a stabbing movement, which fortunately missed its target," the police write.
The Federal Police patrol, alerted by the taxi driver with the 17-year-old girl in the car, then arrived and separated the 42-year-old from the passers-by.
However, he continued to be extremely aggressive and insulted one of the helpers continuously.
He was taken to the infirmary to be identified, and a breath alcohol test was also carried out there – it showed a blood alcohol content of 1.43.
"He now has to answer on suspicion of coercion, insult and threats as well as attempted dangerous bodily harm," the police press report concludes.
