BART police are beefing up patrols at Oakland stations after dozens of juveniles terrorized riders Saturday night when they invaded the Coliseum Station and commandeered a train car, forcing passengers to hand over bags and cell phones and leaving at least two with head injuries.
The incident — the first of its kind in recent memory — occurred around 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Witnesses told police that 40 to 60 juveniles flooded the station, jumped the fare gates and rushed to the second-story train platform. Some of the robbers apparently held open the doors of a Dublin-bound train car while others streamed inside, confronting and robbing and in some cases beating riders.
“At least two victims suffered head/facial injuries requiring medical attention,” said a police summary prepared after the incident.
Alicia Trost, a BART spokeswoman, said Monday that seven people were robbed — with the victims losing a purse, a duffel bag and five phones. Six people were robbed inside the train car, with a seventh confronted on the platform, she said. Police received no reports of guns or other weapons being brandished.
The attack was quick, police reported, and the teenagers were able to retreat from the station and vanish into the surrounding East Oakland neighborhood before BART officers could respond. The train was held for about 15 minutes as authorities interviewed victims and witnesses and tended to the injured.
Trost said police arrived at the station in under 5 minutes, but the robberies took place in just seconds. No officers were at Coliseum station at the time, but were patrolling Oakland stations, she said.

Maybe Barack and Michelle can ride along too. Organize this, Barry.....
I do 36, mostly, however, the 2 10 rounders on the right hip are there to balance the gun plus 16 on the left.
Teens is the official synonym for Negroes.
You can drop IL from your list, because CCW is now the law here. IL is a “Shall Issue” state, as well.
And dark complexioned.
I'm confused. The politicians and courts in California have consistently assured the citizens there, that there's no need for them to carry defensive firearms.
For the umpteenth time, boys and girls, 'When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.'
It uses the term, "teens." That is now an up front plain as day identification of Negroes up to just shy of "middle aged."
I got the hell out of there in 1979. Smartest thing I’ve ever done.
Can’t think about that if you are in that situation. Whatever ammo you’ve got will have to do. Aim well, don’t waste ammo just making noise. Give priority to the armed ones, maybe they’ll drop something you can use.
I have been in firefights and when I was new guy, ran out of ammo in one. I had rabbited off several magazines towards the enemy and wasted a lot of rounds making noise.
I was lucky and never did that again. I learned to calm down and aim.
Those "Africans" are just as American as you are. Some of them are criminals, but most aren't.
Real law enforcement and strict sentencing guidelines, are the cure for this sort of crap - not knee-jerk calls to expel Americans, based upon nothing but the color of their skin.
Put down two or three, and the rest will scatter. At least most will, which betters your odds of survival.
Not by me, and I grew up in the hood.
Are you from the Bay area by chance and familiar with the goings on of BART? This seems like a significant first if it is in fact a first. I was hoping the article would have comments to see how the locals were reacting but no comments.
Think they will add images and story to the “Visit Gay SF” tourist flyers? /s/
Sure, but shoot someone while carrying 'illegally' in California, and see what sort of charges you face. Won't be a misdemeanor, that's for sure.
He'd be called a racist?
“Can’t think about that if you are in that situation. Whatever ammo you’ve got will have to do. Aim well, don’t waste ammo just making noise. Give priority to the armed ones, maybe they’ll drop something you can use.”
Good advice.
Not so. Anyone who puts another nationality before American is not really American. Deportation has absolutely nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with bad behavior. Same goes for white flight from neighborhoods—it is the behavior that people want to get away from. The color makes no difference to anyone—the color thing is jive talk by negroes.
The CBC is going to demand that the FCC pull the plug on FR.
That’s 5 articles depicting “Blacks” in a “bad light” in less than an hour. Have they gone mad?
I didn’t know that, thanks.
