Hesse: 17-year-old pulls out throwing knives in the train – arrest

Neuhof (dpa/lhe) - A 17-year-old pulled out a throwing knife on a train between Fulda and Speyer and was arrested. The teenager is said to have taken the knife out of his backpack on Thursday and shouted that this was a robbery, as the federal police in Kassel announced on Friday. After other passengers alerted the police, officers arrested the 17-year-old and his companion near the Neuhof train station (Fulda district).

When police officers searched his backpack, they found an airsoft gun with plastic ammunition and a "small amount of marijuana" next to the throwing knife. Criminal proceedings were initiated against the 17-year-old.
