A man threatened passengers Friday on a train in eastern Germany and injured a teenager with an ax-like implement, police said.

The incident took place on a local train traveling from Cottbus to Frankfurt an der Oder, on the Polish border, German news agency dpa reported. The suspect, whom police identified as a 37-year-old Polish citizen, was arrested.

Witnesses said the man boarded the train in the town of Guben, started threatening passengers and damaged the train’s interior fittings with the ax-like implement, apparently destroying monitors, police said. He also hit a 17-year-old girl with the implement, and she sustained an injury to the head.
