Unusual find: Federal Police secured prohibited knives at the main train station

In a nightly campaign, officials from the federal police confiscated a forbidden knife on June 23, 2025 in Dresden Central Station. Around 00:15 a man was checked, who carried a dangerous knife with a fixed blade of 13.5 cm without a plausible explanation. This blade length exceeds the legally permitted limit and thus represents a clear violation of the Weapons Act. The incident raises questions about the security situation in the main train station and is another alarming reference to unauthorized weapons in public space.
