Four burly Swedish cops put their New York City vacation on hold to answer the call of duty on a Manhattan subway train last night.
The friends were on their way to see Les Misérables on Broadway, DNA Info reports, and rushed in to stop a brutal assault on a crowded rush-hour 6 train.
'We came here for vacation. We’ve been here one day. We’re no heroes, just tourists,' Makrus Åsberg, a 25-year-old officer with the police Uppsala, Sweden, told the New York Post. Mr Asberg, along with Erik Naslund, Samuel Kvarzell and Eric Jansberger, subdued an enraged homeless man who was viciously beating another rider on the train.
The Samaritan Scandinavians stopped the violence and held the attacker until the NYPD could arrive, the Post reports.
Video from the incident shows Kvarzell and Asberg holding the suspect down and trying to calm him down as he screams.

I’m sorry, did I hurt your wittle feewings?
No, but it seems like I hurt yours, Rev. Al.
You give yourself way too much credit. LOL.
Well done, gents.
Burly? I don’t see it.
To just come out and state the obvious... You’re an idiot.
Every single day there are tens of thousands if not millions of police/public interactions, yet to your dismay there are no rivers of blood flowing down Main St, no mountains of dead bodies on every street corner. Are there bad cops? Yeah, just like there are bad doctors, bad lawyers, bad preachers, etc. That’s a normal part of any society.
Sorta like the idiot that tried to steal a suit case belonging to .....an Olympic sprinter standing around with three or four of the fastest people in the world. The perp didn’t get far!
Four visiting Swedes, was it?
TWO visiting Norwegians would have accomplished it - - - : ^ ]
Yeah, only they don't say things like that around here. They say "you gonna !@#$% with me, WHITE BOY?"
Ooh, and studly, too!
