Dutch soccer fans hurled a small bomb from a moving train and seriously injured a bystander, but police in Driebergen, Netherlands, said today they released 48 detainees without knowing who threw the device.
The 55-year-old victim was being treated in a hospital for wounds to both legs after the Sunday incident, according to police spokesman Jan van Haaften.
The man was waiting on the platform of this city’s railway station when a train carrying several dozen Feyenoord Rotterdam fans passed by, Van Haaften said. He said one of the fans tossed the bomb out of a train window for no apparent reason.
A group of 48 Feyenoord fans was taken off the train, but Van Haaften said police were unable to determine who threw the bomb.
