The incident occurred on a Flixtrain traveling from Stuttgart to Hamburg. The man was traveling without a valid ticket and was supposed to get off at Neu-Edingen/Friedrichsfeld station. However, he refused and instead punched two train attendants, aged 54 and 41, in the face.

Both women suffered minor injuries but did not require medical treatment from emergency services. The train driver held the 25-year-old until the Federal Police arrived. The attack took place on Wednesday morning.

The 25-year-old now faces charges of assault and fare evasion. The Federal Police have initiated criminal proceedings.
