Update Once again a train conductor mistreated. That happened early this morning on the train from Utrecht to Amsterdam. At the height of Abcoude arose in the train already a struggle between four boys and the conductor. When the train stopped at the station, moved the brawl itself to the platform.

The four boys worked the conductor to the ground and kicked and beat him. A passenger the railway employee came to help, also received blows. A fellow guard also helped and two of the boys could keep a short time under control. The boys then ran off in the direction of Amsterdam by rail. The police searched for them, including a helicopter and a police dog, but she has not been found.

What was the reason for the abuse and how it both victims are far, the police can not say. The NS wants to say anything about their condition.

The past year has repeatedly NS staff beaten up. Last month was a NS’er at Utrecht Centraal a punch on the jaw of an unruly passenger. Also a conductress was severely beaten in the train from Schiphol to Hoofddorp. In December, two men were on the platform of Almelo two train conductors to. The NS staff had approached the men because they had harassed a woman on the train. In October abused a 15-year zwartrijder a conductor on the train in Rotterdam and in March was a conductor on the train from the Hook of Holland to Rotterdam beaten with a food bowl for dogs. The conductor had the perpetrator asked his dog to stray lines.
