Four arrested for NS train assault

Four Groningen locals were arrested Monday evening for threatening two passengers and a ticket collector. The men, ranging in age from 19 to 22, reportedly threatened the two passengers because they were gay. When a ticket collector tried to intervene, he too was threatened. Upon arrival at Groningen Central the police were already waiting, and the four were arrested. All of the victims filed police reports.
