A woman with an ax prompted a major police operation at the train station in Wilferdingen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The 25-year-old blocked the departure of a train to Stuttgart by stopping in the door area. A fellow traveler from Switzerland was able to overpower the woman.
Several travelers had asked the woman to let the train depart, the Federal Police Inspectorate in Karlsruhe announced on Saturday. She then reached into her backpack and pulled out a multi-tool, from which she unfolded an ax regarding 18 centimeters long.
