HOBOKEN — Police from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have arrested six Newark teens after an alleged gang assault on a PATH train, a Port Authority police spokesman said.

The incident occurred early this morning on a Hoboken-bound train. Police spokesman Joe Pentangelo says police received a call at about 1:20 a.m.

Passengers told police the group assaulted and robbed them. One of the victims, a 21-year-old from Budd Lake, received eight stitches in his lip. Other victims suffered lacerations and bruises.

After the passengers provided descriptions, police arrested the suspects at the Hoboken Terminal. One of the victims' wallets was recovered.

Pentangelo says the six are between 15 and 17 and are from Newark. They are being held in the Hudson County juvenile detention facility.
