Robert GrahamPassengers of San Francisco’s BART commuter train system were terrorized Saturday when a large gang of up to 60 teens swarmed onto a train and began robbing and beating passengers, transit officials reported Monday morning.
The large group of between 40 and 60 teens hopped onto a Dublin/Pleasanton-bound train at the Coliseum Station in Oakland at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday and began forcing passengers to hand over wallets, purses, cell phones, and other valuables, witnesses said according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Those who did not comply were beaten.
According to a police report, the teens “committed multiple strong-arm robberies of bags and cell phones. At least two victims suffered head/facial injuries requiring medical attention.”
