Troubled Town of Bad Bentheim - A 46-year-old man leaps onto a speeding train.

A man from Chile was riding on a train going from Amsterdam to Berlin when the train started moving before he could get off. In a moment of impulse, he jumped between the locomotive and the first carriage to continue his journey. A police officer saw what was happening and alerted the train staff. The train driver immediately applied the emergency brake, causing the train to stop on the open track.

The passenger was taken to Rheine station and given to the Federal Police. He now faces an inspection and may have to deal with legal actions from the railway company.

The Federal Police issue a stern warning about the risks of unauthorized travel on or inside trains. Such dangerous activities are not only hazardous due to the train traffic itself but also from the power-carrying elements of the infrastructure.
