A young woman travelling in the S-Bahn S5 on Monday evening (21st January, 2013) was threatened by a man with a gun.

The man, described as athletic, dark skinned, aged between 30 and 40, and approximately between 1.90m and 2.00m tall with dreadlocks, pointed a pistol towards the woman, the reason for which is as yet unknown.  He was wearing a black jacket, a dark coloured wollon hat, beige-coloured shoes and had a sports bag with him.

The incident happened just before the train arrived at the station in Stierstadt at around 9.10pm.  The woman left the train at the station in Oberursel and the man remained on board to travel to Bad Homburg or further.

Police are asking anyone who can help them identify the man to call them on 06171 62400.
