Teenager injured by electric shock while riding on train roof in Germany

A 16-year-old boy was seriously injured after riding on the roof of a regional train near Moosburg, Germany. The incident occurred on a Sunday evening when the teenager came into contact with the overhead power lines, resulting in a severe electric shock and subsequent fall from the train.

The victim suffered significant burns to his legs and torso but is reported to be in non-life-threatening condition. He was transported to a hospital in Munich via rescue helicopter. Authorities are also searching for a second, unidentified individual who was reportedly on the roof with the teenager at the time of the accident.

The incident caused significant disruption to rail services, leading to the closure of the track between Freising and Landshut. Approximately 200 passengers had to be evacuated at Moosburg station, and the disruption impacted train connections to Munich Airport, necessitating the use of replacement bus and taxi services.
