Investigations, sparked by witness testimonies, made it possible for detectives to track down these juveniles. However, their identities remain a mystery at this point.
► Background: The train was en route from Leipzig (Saxony) to Eisenach (Thuringia) on a Thursday evening around 6:30 PM when an unpleasant odor seeped out and severely irritated passengers' respiratory systems.
The quick-thinking train conductor activated emergency services and brought the train to a stop at Georg-Schumann-Straße in the Leipzig district of Möckern.
The abrupt arrival of 13 ambulances and 14 fire engines with flashing lights on the railways quickly followed. They were joined by numerous federal and state police officers and a hazardous materials unit. At the scene, six passengers required urgent medical attention due to acute breathing issues.
The unscathed passengers were subsequently able to continue their journey on a replacement train. The elusive young people, who had earlier exited the train in Möckern, had vanished by then.
The nature of the chemical substance involved remains uncertain. The investigation into this matter is still underway. The authorities are still actively seeking answers regarding the case of dangerous bodily harm.
