Arrest Made at Hamburg Central Station for Wanted Man

Tue 1st Apr, 2025

Hamburg - Authorities apprehended a 52-year-old male on March 31, 2025, at approximately 4:15 PM in the Hamburg Central Station. The arrest was executed by federal police following the issuance of a warrant for his apprehension.

The individual drew attention from law enforcement while traversing the station with an unzipped backpack. Upon a police officer's suggestion to secure the bag due to concerns about potential pickpocketing, the man responded with hostility and began to verbally lash out.

In response to his aggressive behavior, officers conducted a background check, which revealed that the suspect had been wanted since March 25, 2025. He had been previously convicted of theft and had failed to pay a fine exceeding 500 euros, leading to a replacement prison sentence of 43 days.

After completing the necessary police procedures, the suspect was transported to a correctional facility.
