When a MetroLink passenger wouldn’t give his bag up to two boys who tried to rob him, the boys assaulted him Sunday afternoon, St. Louis County police say.

Police saw a fight going on as a group of people left a westbound MetroLink train at North Hanley Station in northern St. Louis County, according to a news release. One boy showed what appeared to be a firearm to the group of riders, police said.

The two suspects — both black boys in their teens — approached a 14-year-old boy while he was riding the train, police said. When the train stopped, they demanded he give them his bag. When he refused, they assaulted him, police said.
