- On Wednesday, a train conductor named Serkan C. died after an assault during a Monday ticket check on a regional express leaving Landstuhl in Kaiserslautern, the attacker being arrested at the scene.
- Early findings indicate the assault followed a dispute over a missing ticket when the 26-year-old passenger was instructed to leave, and police said the suspect is a Greek national without residence in Germany.

- The EVG demanded more funding for train staff safety, with boss Martin Burkert warning `For years now, savings have been made at the expense of the security of train staff and passengers`.
