Three teens arrested for assaulting railway workers

The police handcuffed the third suspect. The fight started on the train from Weert. One of the three refused to show proof of identity. NS staff issued him a fine at the Eindhoven station and the situation got out of hand. One of the NS employees had to go o the hospital to have a head wound examined. All three suspects, a 17 year old from Sramproy, a 17 year old from Weert and an 18 year old also from Weert, are in custody on suspicion of public violence.
