Emergency - Woman presses emergency call and locks four people in elevator

Four people have been trapped in an elevator at a Munich S-Bahn station after an unknown woman pressed the emergency call button from outside. The woman may have wanted to press the call button underneath, as a federal police spokeswoman suspected on Tuesday. Instead, she smashed the window of the emergency call and triggered it. She then disappeared with her disabled companion. Three adults and a child were locked in the elevator on Monday. They had to wait in the elevator for around three quarters of an hour - only then were they freed by the fire department.

The federal police are now investigating damage to property and misuse of emergency calls. The investigators were unable to say anything about the age and gender of those involved.

The incident occurred in Upper Bavaria, where the S-Bahn station is located. The fire department had to be called not only to rescue the trapped individuals but also to investigate the purpose of the emergency call activation. Despite the women's departure, the Federal Police are still investigating this incident in Bavaria, focusing on both property damage and misuse of emergency calls. The rescue operation took place in Munich, where the S-Bahn is a crucial part of the public transportation system.
