Drunk German broke into train cabin

Remove

A drunk man in Germany thought the train was going a little too fast.

He therefore grabbed a fire extinguisher and broke into the driver's house.

A German high-speed train was forced to stop outside Frankfurt on Sunday morning. The trains can reach speeds of 300 kilometers per hour – far too fast, according to one passenger. He decided to ask the driver to slow down, reports the AP news agency.

The man, who police say was drunk, grabbed one of the train's fire extinguishers and headed for the driver's cab. Once there, he smashed the glass door that separates the cab from the passenger car. The shocked driver was then told that he was driving way too fast and that the passengers needed to be rescued.
No one was injured, but the man, who is in his 30s, is suspected of a number of different crimes.
