16 riders ejected after brawl on NJ Transit train
A New Jersey Transit train was forced to make an
unscheduled stop after a large brawl broke out inside 1 of the cars, leading to
the ejection of several passengers.
It's not yet clear what sparked the brawl, which broke
out shortly after 4 p.m. Saturday on a northbound Bergen/Port Jervis line
train.
NJ Transit spokesman John Durso Jr. tells The Star-Ledger
that the fight began about 10 minutes after the train departed from Secaucus.
The train soon made an unscheduled stop in East Rutherford, and authorities
broke up the brawl.
Sixteen people were eventually ordered off the train, and
two were issued summons for disorderly conduct. One person was treated at the
scene for minor injuries.
The train resumed service 20 minutes after the
unscheduled stop.
