Video: Security assaults suspect, bystander at Amsterdam Centraal

Enforcers of the Public Transport Security Team assaulted a man suspected of wanting to travel without a ticket as well as a bystander at Amsterdam Central Station. A woman, Monique Miep, filmed the assault and decided to share her video on Facebook. This video has been massively shared on social media. According to Miep, the incident happened on Wednesday last week. Three members of the security team confronted a man who presumably wanted to get on a train without having money on his public transport card. One of the security officers even decided to use his truncheon. A bystander tried to intervene and was also attacked. https://www.facebook.com/monique.miep/posts/10200393311552917 This video has been viewed more than 950 thousand times and has been shared massively throughout social media.
