Couple fined $8,400 for having sex on Berlin train

A man and a woman have been fined $8,400 for having sex in the middle of the day on a Berlin train, a court spokesman said on Thursday.

The incident took place on a Sunday in April, 2018.

Police at the time said the man and woman were performing oral sex in full view of passengers, including children, on a train heading into the city centre.

Witnesses reportedly intervened, leading to a physical altercation that eventually prompted one passenger to pull the emergency brake.

The man and woman were arrested at the scene.

The 37-year-old woman was fined 3,900 euros and the 39-year-old man 3,600 euros, according to the decision, which was handed down on April 10.

A clash occurred after an 18-year-old female approached the couple and asked them to stop, after which there was a verbal argument and the 36-year-old woman insulted the 18-year-old and slapped her in the face.

The woman then attacked the victim’s companion, a young man, by punching him in the face.

After the 38-year-old male partner proceeded to attack the young woman’s companion, another passenger held him down.

Witnesses reportedly intervened, leading to a physical altercation that eventually prompted one passenger to pull the emergency brake.

The man and woman were arrested at the scene.

The 37-year-old woman was fined 3,900 euros and the 39-year-old man 3,600 euros, according to the decision, which was handed down on April 10.
