NEW YORK- A group of Swedish law enforcement officers who were vacationing in the United States broke up a fight on a New York subway.

Erik Naslund, Samuel Kvarzell, Markus Asberg and Eric Jansberger were headed to see a Broadway performance of "Les Miserables" on Wednesday when a brawl broke out between two men on a crowded train.

CBS New York's radio affiliate 1010 WINSreports the train operator took to the intercom to see if there were any police officers on the train. The Swedish officers then stepped up to the plate.

Police say the four held one of the brawlers until New York Police Department officers responded and took him to a hospital. The Swedish officers went on their way. But witnesses captured the scene on video.

New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton said Friday that he's grateful the Swedes stepped in and broke up the fight.

The four men were treated to a tour of NYPD headquarters Thursday and were getting a ride on a police boat Friday.
