Passengers travelling from German village Villingen to Neustadt and Freiburg have been left enraged following the incident involving men, who appeared to be from Morocco, according to reports.

Police stopped five men, between the ages of 19 and 30-years-old, in Freiburg and one was taken into custody.
They have been ordered to stay in the district of Sigmaringen.
Police have appealed for witnesses following Saturday's incident on the train RE22315 between Villingen and Neustadt.
Tensions in Germany are at breaking point after hundreds of women reported being robbed, attacked or sexually assaulted during 2015 New Year celebrations outside Cologne cathedral by as many as 1,000 drunk, aggressive men described as of "Arab or North African origin".
The incident took place on a train in a German village
The scale and nature of the crimes in the city has been a disastrous torpedo to the heart of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door refugee and her popularity.
Having initially been hailed for her leadership over the escalating crisis after offering sanctuary to nearly 1.1million refugees fleeing war and persecution in Syria, the German supremo is now facing growing calls for stricter immigration rules.

Mrs Merkel sought to quash fears that Germany is no longer capable of protecting its own people after Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist Anis Amri ploughed a HGV lorry into Berlin Christmas market revellers, killing 12 and injuring 48 others.
German authorities failed to deport Berlin terror attack suspect Amri, 24, a Tunisian asylum-seeker, because he had no valid identity papers. He was shot dead by police on the streets of Milan.
