BPOL NRW secures two knives at Gelsenkirchen station following instances of heavy drinking. Federal authorities are on hand to handle the situation.
The Federal Police in Germany have initiated an administrative offense procedure for a suspected violation of the Weapons Act, following an incident at Gelsenkirchen Central Station on September 3rd.
At around 08:55 AM, a disoriented traveler was noticed by a patrol. The traveler, a 49-year-old Romanian national, initially did not respond to attempts to engage him and appeared indifferent. After repeated attempts, he handed over his ID card to the police. However, officers found two easily accessible knives in his open bag.
The traveler invoked his right to silence and refused a voluntary breath alcohol test. He also refused medical treatment and denied carrying any dangerous or prohibited items. As he declined further medical assistance, officers released him towards his daughter's address.
