From Harassing Girls to Assault; Two Minors Arrested

Gebied: Roosendaal

On the evening of February 7, 2025, the police arrested two minor boys from Ter Apel on Stationsstraat. They are suspected of assaulting two Safety & Service employees of the Dutch Railways at the station. The special enforcement officers (boas) of the NS confronted the boys after receiving reports of them harassing girls on the train.

When the train arrived at Roosendaal station, multiple NS staff checked the train and its passengers. Two boys behaved rebelliously and later aggressively. They assaulted two enforcement officers but were subsequently subdued by the boas. They were handed over to the police and taken to the police station. They will be interrogated today. The police continue the investigation into what happened on the train.

Safe Public Task

The police do not tolerate verbal or physical violence against enforcement officers, police officers, emergency responders, and government personnel and take decisive action against it. Anyone who commits aggression or violence against a worker with a public task must be quickly and severely punished. It has been agreed with the Public Prosecution Service that the penalty demand for violence against employees with a public task will always be increased. Click here for more information.
