NS security officer pushed onto tracks

An NS service and security officer was pushed on the tracks at the Amsterdam Sloterdijk Station, Saturday night between 22:00 and 22:30, by a friend of a fare dodging traveler. The man sustained a severe concussion. The NS officer got into an argument with a passenger in the train from Amsterdam to Haarlem, because he did not have a valid ticket.

Two of the passenger's friends intervened, but it wasn't until the train pulled into the Sloterdijk station when things escalated. One of the friends pushed the NS officers off the platform, landing him backwards on the tracks. The NS staff member sustained a severe concussion and injuries to the face. The officer was released from the hospital after treatment, but will file a police report, according to a spokesperson for the police. The suspects, aged between 18 and 25, fled the scene and have not yet been traced. There is no camera footage of the incident. The police are looking for witnesses.
