In Den Bosch, a city in the southern part of the Netherlands, both the train station and a number of houses adjacent to it have been evacuated after a bomb scare on Tuesday morning.

A spokesperson for the Dutch railways has said that there was a bomb aboard the train, however, the police hasn’t confirmed this, and maintains that they are still searching for the bomb.

The incident began when a man traveling on board the intercity from Roosendaal to Zwolle announced that he was carrying a bomb. The man has been taken into custody and all train traffic to and from Den Bosch has been halted until further notice.
