“I sat at Starbucks at the main train station, smoked a cigarette. Suddenly a man came along, said something about 'piece of shit' and hit me in the face with his fist. I really flew a bit, put my hands in front of my face. Then the blood was already dripping out between the fingers. "

H. is the passenger attendant at the metronome. It was 0.55 a.m. on Sunday, she had just come from Bremen. Her next train was supposed to start at 1:33 a.m. in the direction of Lüneburg, but then it went without her.
