Bahnhof Coburg, 96450 Coburg, Deutschland - It was in the early morning hours of June 12, 2025 when a worrying incident passed at the train station in Coburg. At around 00:17 a 37-year-old man threatened several passers-by with a knife. Witnesses described that the accused asked the five victims to approach him. This was a threatening situation for those affected, so they immediately alerted the police. The officials were already on site because they were on the basis of another incident at the train station, such as np-coburg.de reported.

The police reacted quickly and arrested the 37-year-old. When arrested, the man had to be fixed on the floor and tied up, causing obscene expressions towards the officials.
