Train conductor hospitalised after punch to face

A train conductor was seriously hurt and had to be hospitalised on Friday after being punched in the face by a young man at Ettelbrück station.

Moments before the incident, rather than using the underpass, the man attempted to cross two train tracks to reach a platform, which is completely prohibited.

A train conductor on the platform at the time confronted the man pointing out that crossing the tracks was not allowed.

The man responded by punching the woman hard in her face with his fist.

Suffering from serious injuries she was taken to hospital by emergency services.

The suspect has been identified; however, reports that he has been caught and arrested have not been confirmed by police and train company CFL.

More information should be revealed by CFL later on Friday.
