Munich - An incident at Munich main train station led to the Federal Police being deployed early on Thursday afternoon, March 7th.
An 83-year-old German woman claimed that there was an explosive device in a suitcase that had been left behind.
The DB Infopoint at the main station was then closed.

The senior citizen had previously found out about train connections at the DB Infopoint.
As she left the information point, she made the claim about the explosive device.
The federal police reacted immediately, cordoned off the area and deployed an explosives detection dog.
However, the dog did not strike and when the suitcase was subsequently opened, only travel items were found.

A video analysis showed that the suitcase did not belong to the 83-year-old.
The actual owner of the suitcase is still unknown.
Woman arrested at Munich main station – already punished for insult
During the check on the senior citizen, the officers discovered that there was an arrest warrant issued against her by the Erfurt public prosecutor's office for insulting her.
The fine was 6,000 euros or, alternatively, 30 days in prison.
Although the woman, who has no fixed address, was carrying the requested money, she refused to pay the fine.
