Unusual find: Federal police secure a banned knife at the main train station
In a night-time operation on June 23, 2025, federal police officers confiscated a banned knife in Dresden Central Station. At around 12:15 a.m. a man was checked who was carrying a dangerous knife with a fixed blade of 13.5 cm without any plausible explanation. This blade length exceeds the legally permitted limit and is therefore a clear violation of the weapons law. The incident raises questions about the security situation at the main train station and is another alarming indication of unauthorized weapons in public spaces.
