Police Investigate Death of Six-Year-Old on Hamburg Railway Track
Hamburg, Germany – Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a six-year-old boy found seriously injured on S-Bahn tracks in the Wilhelmsburg district of Hamburg on Tuesday evening. Emergency services responded to reports near Brackstraße at approximately 5:30 p.m. and discovered the child with severe injuries. He was pronounced dead shortly after.
The boy had been reported missing prior to the revelation, and police were alerted to his location through an emergency call. It remains unclear how the child came to be on the tracks. Authorities are currently examining a train that was stopped on the line to determine if it was involved in the incident.
According to reports from NDR, the child had cognitive impairments.

A crisis intervention team was dispatched to support family members at the scene.
Rail traffic between Wilhelmsburg and Harburg was suspended for several hours while police,fire,and rescue personnel conducted a thorough examination.
