A recent incident on a U7 train in Berlin has caused a bit of a commotion. A shattered glass panel in the door of a U-Bahn, according to a spokesperson for the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), was reported to the police on Saturday evening. The train was swiftly removed from service and taken to the workshop. Thankfully, no passengers got hurt, as reported by the police.
So, what happened? Was it a case of stolen goods or property damage? The BVG strongly states that they would never operate a train with a missing glass panel. The detailed footage of the door, taken by a passenger and published by the "Tagesspiegel," might offer some clues.

You can reach out via the emergency call button or the emergency call and information columns located at the U-Bahn stations.
