Knocked out train conductor has three facial fractures

Bianca (44), the NS conductress that was severely assaulted on the station in Hoofdorp last week, is still in the hospital. She is recovering from three fractures in her face, AD reports. The man that assaulted her broke her eye socket, nose and jaw. She is still in the hospital and doing well under the circumstances. She still can not remember the assault. Late on Thursday night last week on the last trip between Schiphol and Hoofdorp, Bianca found a homeless man who presumably wanted to stay on the train to sleep there. Obviously he could not do that, and she asked him to leave. At the station Bianca was beaten so severely that she lost consciousness. A machinists found her and called an ambulance. The police arrested a 26 year old homeless man. He is still in custody.
