Because he did not want to buy a ticket, a Czech man (40) threatened to shoot the staff on the train if he saw conductors. At least that is how a witness describes it, to whom the 40-year-old allegedly showed his weapon, hidden in his waistband.
Major operation at Linz Central Station: On Sunday evening, several police patrols, including the rapid intervention group, arrived to arrest a 40-year-old Czech man on a train.
Reason: The man had previously threatened to shoot Czech train staff if they saw them. Apparently because he did not want to buy a ticket.
Weapon not active
So the police arrived, arrested the 40-year-old and also seized a gun and a magazine. According to the police, it later turned out that the gun had been unloaded at the time and the barrel had been locked from the inside, rendering the gun inoperative.
40-year-old denies threats
The 40-year-old allegedly showed the witness who called the police his weapon, hidden in his waistband. However, the Czech has not confessed and denies the charges. A breathalyzer test on him showed 1.5 per mille. The man is being reported.
