The call
On Friday, 6 November 2026, a man called the 112 emergency number while travelling on a passenger train in Prahova County toward Brașov, and threatened to blow up the train. The call prompted an immediate operation by the Brașov Regional Transport Police, working with the Brașov County Police Inspectorate, to identify the caller. Officers worked to establish his identity while the train was still on its way.
Identification at Brașov station
Officers identified the man when the train arrived at Brașov CF station, after checking the passengers. He was a 62-year-old man from Bistrița, in Bistrița-Năsăud County. A check of the man found no objects or devices that posed a danger to passengers. He admitted making the call, and police confirmed it by reviewing the call history of the mobile phone he was using.
Fine and medical referral
The man was fined 4,000 lei for the abusive call, under O.U.G. no. 34/2008 on the organisation and operation of the National Single System for Emergency Calls. Given the circumstances of the incident, steps were also started for a specialist medical evaluation. Competent medical staff will determine whether hospitalisation is necessary, in accordance with the law. Police used the case to warn the public about misuse of the emergency number.
“The abusive use of the 112 emergency number can lead to the unjustified mobilisation of intervention resources, affecting the authorities' ability to respond promptly to real emergencies.”
The police statement asked citizens to reserve the 112 number for situations that need an emergency response.
