A man threw a garbage can and a concrete block onto train tracks, disrupting rail traffic.
The police arrested him on site.
Munich - S-Bahn traffic at Munich Central Station came to a standstill on Wednesday evening (January 31) after a 55-year-old tore a garbage can from its anchorage and threw it onto the track.
Shortly after the crime, police officers met the man on the central platform and temporarily arrested him.
According to police, he behaved aggressively.
Officials had to remove the dented garbage can from the track.
This resulted in delays, cancellations and diversions of the trains.
A man had previously thrown a concrete block onto the subway track
A witness also observed that the man had previously thrown the foot of a construction fence onto the subway tracks.
Video cameras recorded both the trash can throwing and the concrete block throwing.
Officials were also able to find the remains of the broken concrete foot in the subway track.
