SEK deployment after RAF false alarm in the regional express. SEK officers took a man off a train in Wuppertal because an eyewitness mistook him for an RAF terrorist.

Only later did it become clear: it was a case of mix-up. All train traffic was stopped and the station area was cordoned off. According to eyewitnesses, heavily armed police officers first barricaded themselves behind a wall at the bus station directly opposite before attacking. The alleged left-wing terrorist and a woman accompanying him were then arrested without resistance.
