The issue of teens robbing patrons on BART has been in the spotlight since April when at least 40 youths swarmed a train at the Coliseum station and without weapons robbed six people inside the train and another on the platform. That led a Pleasanton family to file a $3 million claim against the agency in May.

Another attack happened at the Coliseum station on June 30, but the woman targeted by one in a group of 10-13 teens escaped with her cellphone when an off-duty security guard jumped into the fray and regained it despite the group beating him.
