Railroad - Pushed in front of moving suburban train: Scuffle almost ends fatally

A scuffle at Cologne Central Station almost ended fatally. A 49-year-old man headbutted a 25-year-old man, the federal police reported on Thursday. The younger man then pushed his opponent onto the tracks in front of an incoming S-Bahn train.

The driver of the S 11 train was able to brake in time on Tuesday and avoid a collision. As it turned out, both parties involved had more than two per mille alcohol in their blood. They were taken into custody and charged with assault.
