The Federal Police introduced new prohibition zones at train stations in Berlin on Tuesday evening to address violence and drug-related issues. This measure follows several incidents involving dangerous disruptions to rail traffic. According to Der Spiegel, the prohibition zones aim to enhance traveler safety and maintain public order.
A spokesperson for the Federal Police stated, “We must do everything possible to ensure safety at our train stations. The new prohibition zones are an important step in this direction.” The police plan to regularly monitor the zones and take decisive action against violations.
In recent weeks, there have been several incidents where bicycles and other objects were placed on the tracks, causing significant disruptions to train services. The Federal Police is now seeking witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators. “We urge citizens to report any suspicious activities immediately,” the spokesperson added.
The introduction of the prohibition zones is part of a broader strategy by the Federal Police to enhance safety at train stations. This strategy also includes increased police presence and preventive measures against drug trafficking and violence.
