We asked the police about the incident. – Today, around 14:15, we received a call to Vojska Polskiego Street, where the train had actually stopped because of a man sleeping on the tracks.

The man will be punished
– The train stopped for about 10 minutes and then continued on its way. No one was injured in this incident. The 37-year-old man was handed over to his family. He added that in connection with this incident, a request will be sent to the court for his punishment. In this matter, we also contacted Maciej Dudkiewicz, the spokesperson of PKP Intercity, who said that they did not notice the situation as a traffic disturbance. – It is possible that due to the short stop, it was not necessary to inform about the situation, because there was no delay in the schedule and there were no difficulties in the movement of our trains, – he explained.
