"They'll be in there swinging from the bars that you hold onto, they'll be sitting on top of the seats, they'll be smacking people in the back of the head as they're getting off the train," PATH rider John McGinley said.
"I think there should be more truant officers running around scooping them up because they're not going to school," one man said.
"It's gangs of kids, they're causing trouble most of the time," another man said.
On Sunday, two teenagers were arrested after allegedly attacking a British couple at the Ninth Street PATH station in Greenwich Village. During the attack, police said a female victim fell and hit her head. She was taken to a hospital, where she was treated and released.
