AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Dutch police evacuated hundreds of train passengers and cleared a station during the morning rush hour Tuesday after witnesses reported a man threatened to blow the train up. No explosives were found on the train.
Spokeswoman Marika Stewart said the man was been taken into custody from the station in Den Bosch in the southern Netherlands, and investigators with dogs searched the train.
The man shouted "God is great" and said that he had a bomb primed to explode, although he had no backpack or packages, passenger Mohamed Amezian said.
A passenger telephoned police, and the suspect was seized, Stewart said.
The intercity train had stopped at Den Bosch en route from Roosendaal toward Zwolle.
No information about the suspect's identity was available.
