According to initial findings, both people had been on the platform of the Wandsbek-Markt station on Thursday evening independently of each other.
Then one person grabbed the other and threw themselves in front of the arriving subway train. The two have yet to be identified. According to Bild, it was a man who pulled a young woman who happened to be there into the track bed.
