Kind of weird, but in some way understandable.

I wouldn't really do it myself, but summer last year when I was done with a big walking event here in the Netherlands my mother came to pick me up by train. Being extremely tired all I wanted was to go bed and sleep for a day. So we got on the train, well, I stumbled onto the train, which was quite crowded, when my mother got all shaky because of some Arab looking man, who was alone, was looking around nervously, quietly spoke some words while holding a big plastic bag. She then dragged me off the train again first chance she got saying "We gotta get out!".

I was annoyed, I just wanted to go home and I was so tired and couldn't care less about anything or anyone in the world at the moment and if the guy really was a terrorist I probably would've said "F* you, I'm tired and not in the mood, let me sleep." To be fair, in hindsight this event and the timing last year did make it a prime candidate to be attacked by some nutjob.

Back to you, if they were just ticket people, wouldn't they have had a uniform? Here they always have uniforms.

Maybe they were muggers. And you saved yourself from being mugged.

Or they were just regular people. No-one will ever know...

Nope not in Berlin.
They look like casual people. You can spot them though as one of them will always wear a fanny pack/bum bag. They are usually pretty muscular too.
