Munich (dpa / lby) - After the Wiesn visit, a drunk man attacked and injured a railway employee at Munich Central Station.

She was pulled onto the train on Friday evening and fell to the ground. Another 63-year-old rail worker stepped in and was put in a headlock by the 58-year-old. Alerted federal police officers arrested the perpetrator. The railway workers complained of pain and were taken to a hospital.
