Marl (dpa / lnw) - An S-Bahn crashed into a wooden table in Marl on Sunday, which strangers had put on the tracks.
There were no injuries, as the police announced.
The federal police initiated criminal proceedings for dangerous interference in rail traffic and asked witnesses for information.
The train driver of S-Bahn 9 from Marl-Mitte to Essen was unable to prevent an impact despite an emergency braking.
Emergency services from the state and federal police in Recklinghausen examined the scene of the accident.
Since the officials found no visible damage, the train was able to continue its journey almost half an hour late.
