A major police operation paralyzed rail traffic at Frankfurt Central Station on Wednesday evening.
According to the police, an apparently mentally ill man jumped from a platform onto the track bed and ran onto the platform of the station.
In order not to endanger him, rail traffic was blocked as a precaution.
A helicopter was used to locate the man.
When the man left the platform, the police managed to arrest him.
According to the police spokesman, he will probably be admitted to a psychiatric ward.
Rail traffic came to a complete standstill for around 40 minutes and resumed around 8:30 p.m.
