Teens face charges after allegedly throwing rocks at passing trains in Rathenow

Three teenagers in Rathenow face legal action after allegedly throwing rocks at passing trains. A witness spotted them on a disused railway overpass before police intervened. The incident has led to an investigation into dangerous interference with rail traffic. The trouble began when the teens were seen on the old overpass. A witness quickly reported their suspicious behaviour to authorities. Police rushed to the scene but the group fled on foot.

Officers later tracked down and arrested all three suspects. After questioning, they were released into the custody of their parents or guardians. Investigators have now opened formal proceedings against them for endangering rail operations. The case will proceed through the legal system. Authorities have confirmed the teens are accused of putting trains at risk. Their identities remain protected due to their age.
