Removed after administration of a sedative
The seller and the buyer were contacted by an advertisement in an internet forum. The very questionable circumstance of acquiring a living creature without trusting a seller at a train station was incomprehensible to the federal police, the service said.

According to police officers, the scared dog bit the 23-year-old who bought it. The man did not know how to deal with the animal, so he tied an emaciated Rottweiler to a post on platform two and alerted the police.

However, the dog did not let anyone get close and also snarled at federal police officers. There was no way to put a muzzle on him. It was also unclear whether the rope that was tied to the pole would break. To protect passengers, platforms 1-3 were closed and the trains moved.
