On Thursday, police were called out to Ettelbruck train station at around 3pm after an argument erupted between several young people. According to initial reports, two men had a disagreement.

One of the two pulled out an iron bar and tried to hit the other with it.

A witness and a security guard intervened and separated the two. Both men were taken to the police station to clarify the situation, while the weapon and other evidence were seized.

Officers also found a small amount of hashish during a body search.
