Man grabs strange child and jumps for train

A 23-year-old man picked up a strange child at a station in the German town of Wuppertal and then jumped for an arriving train.

The driver of the vehicle made an emergency stop but could not prevent the train from driving a few meters over the child and the man. Eyewitnesses then grabbed the man and handed him over to the alarmed police.

The child belonged to a family with two more children waiting for the train on the platform. The motive of the man is not clear. The family was cared for by spiritual caretakers.
