Late-Night Luck: The Drunken Sleeper on the Tracks
Munich - Consider yourself fortunate, pal! A 45-year-old man, hailing from Eritrea and a tad over-served, had quite an adventure on Thursday night.
The tipsy traveler was stumbling his way along the platform of Munich Central Station, swaying like a boat in a storm on the exit side of the S-Bahn platform, when disaster almost struck. He tripped and tumbled into the track area. Fate, however, wasn't ready to pummel poor luck on him just yet. He rolled into the safety of the shelter beneath the platform edge and promptly passed out.
It was around 2 a.m. when the lucky stumblebum's slumber was interrupted by an S-Bahn train's driver entering the station. Alarmed by the sight, the driver informed the German Federal Police of the strange incident. Once the man was safely rescued from the track area, the officers discovered his level of intoxication, a whopping 2.78 per mille according to a voluntary breath test.
He was kept in police custody to sober up and eventually released.
The scene of this unlikely episode is none other than Munich Central Station, a noteworthy hub for Munich regional news. The clumsy wanderer was close to the S-Bahn platform, a common mode of transportation within the city. Despite his intoxicated state, he was saved by the German Federal Police, a familiar presence in German domestic headlines.

Enrichment Data: Although personal incidents of intoxicated individuals posing potential safety threats on Munich Central Station's S-Bahn platforms weren't readily available in the search results, a similar incident at Memmingen train station highlighted a broader concern. Individuals, under the influence and engaging in right-wing extremist activities, were spotted on the station's platforms[1]. Yet, for exclusive incidents at Munich Central Station, further in-depth reports or local news sources would be necessary.
