Dutch police evacuate Paris-bound train, arrest man

Police in the Netherlands have arrested a man who locked himself in a toilet of a Thalys high-speed train heading for Paris early Friday.

 

Police said in tweets that the arrest happened at Rotterdam Central station without incident. No further information about the man was immediately available.

 

The train was evacuated as a precaution.

 

The incident comes less than a month after passengers subdued a gunman on board a Thalys train in northern France as it was traveling from Amsterdam to Paris.

 

Thalys said earlier in a tweet that, "Security forces have situation under control. No risk for our passengers."
