Passengers on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train were robbed, and in some cases beaten, when dozens of juveniles stormed aboard the train and forced them to give up their property, police said. The incident happened at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Coliseum Station in Oakland aboard a Dublin/Pleasanton-bound train. BART Police said witnesses reported 50 to 60 juveniles jumping the fare gates and going to the platform. After boarding the train the They boarded the train they “committed multiple strongarm robberies of bags and cell phones,” according to a police report. At least two people were hurt and were treated by paramedics for facial and head injuries. The teens all fled into the surrounding neighborhood near the Coliseum before any officers could arrive, police said. Last week, BART announced the hiring of new Police Chief Carlos Rojas, who is looking to increase the number of police officers on trains and in stations.

OMG - that’s hilarious.

I’m sure these teens are mad about Trump or something.

Happened Saturday night and BART has been sitting on the story since then, refusing to release security footage because the perpetrators "appear" to be minors.

How is this not the biggest story in the country right now?

50 to 60 kids. None of them have spilled the beans. No cell phone videos, no Facebook posts about the incident...right.

Now California needs to build high speed rail so the “teens” can rob people at faster speeds.

Was this co-ordinated through Obama phones?

Are there “resistance connected” leaders or is it just a local gang phenomenon?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Yup. He turned off their Obamaphones. Seriously, transit cops need to start cracking skulls.

I can't figure it out either. They must be muppets. There is no other possible demographic answer.

Oakland station? I’m shocked.

I grew up in the shadow of the Walnut Creek station. I can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of times I felt inclined to take the BART into Oakland.
