Berlin Train Station Evacuated Over Suspicious Object, Man Detained

Police cleared Berlin-Lichtenberg station and halted train services after a man with a wired object caused alarm; the object was later deemed harmless.

The Berlin-Lichtenberg train station was evacuated on Friday due to a suspicious object carried by a man who was detained by police.
The man reportedly threw the object, which had visible wires, onto the floor and shouted loudly in the station's main hall.
Explosives experts examined the object and confirmed it posed no danger, leading to the resumption of train services around 1:15 PM.
Train traffic, including regional and S-Bahn lines, was disrupted for approximately an hour, with some lines bypassing the station entirely during the investigation.
The incident follows a similar case in October at Berlin-Neukölln station, where a man carrying explosive materials escaped and remains at large.
