Caption: A child has died after being pushed onto the tracks, along with his mother, in front of a train at Frankfurt's main station. The eight-year-old boy and his 40-year-old mother were pushed onto the tracks in front of an oncoming high-speed train as it was arriving at the station. Police said in a statement that the child was hit by the train and died at the scene. His mother was able to escape and climb up onto the footpath between platform seven and eight. She was taken to hospital. There is currently no information on her injuries. Police said initial findings suggest the suspect then attempted to push another person onto the tracks but that person was able to escape.
