On Friday around 6:00 PM, a train conductor saved himself by retreating into the driver's cabin at the Wien-Mitte station in Landstraße because a man was chasing him with a utility knife.

From the window of the driver's cabin, he explained to officers of the Landstraße city police command that he had expelled a passenger from the train because, although the passenger presented a valid ticket, he refused to show identification.

Instead, the 39-year-old Turkish citizen pulled out the utility knife and threatened to stab the conductor. The 25-year-old then retreated, and the passenger pursued him. The police stopped the aggressor and instructed him to empty his pockets. He angrily threw the knife on the ground. He was charged with suspicion of making dangerous threats, and a temporary weapons ban was imposed on him.
