Three arrested after teenage gang attacks passenger on train to Newbridge

Three teenagers have been arrested after an alleged assault on a train yesterday evening.

A passenger on the 5.55pm Heuston to Newbridge service was attacked by a gang of teens shortly after the train left the station.

It is the second violent incident on a train in less than a week.

Last Friday, two teenagers were arrested when vandals smashed windows and pulled the emergency cord on a train near Leixlip station.
