In Dresden, a man was dragged along by a streetcar because of a dog lead. According to the police, the doors closed when the 34-year-old's dog was already on the streetcar. The man had fastened the dog lead around his body on Thursday evening and was dragged along for several meters until he was able to release it.

The streetcar only came to a halt when passengers informed the 34-year-old streetcar driver. Witnesses alerted the police. They are now investigating the cause of the accident.
