On a typical summer day in 2025, a remarkable incident unfolded on the S-Bahn line between Bitterfeld and Halle (Saale) Central Station. A four-year-old girl found herself travelling alone on the train, a situation that raised concerns and prompted immediate action from the authorities.
According to reports transmitted by the Federal Police Inspectorate Magdeburg and shared by news aktuell, the girl's mother had gotten off the train at Bitterfeld to validate her ticket. Unfortunately, the train departed before she could reboard, leaving the young girl unaccompanied.
