One of the perpetrators is a well-known Tiktokker (20), the man was picked from the train in Bruges by people from Securail and the Railway Police.

Yesterday at 5:32 PM
The incident occurred shortly after the train left Ostend at 5:40 PM on Thursday, with Eupen as the final station. Between the stations of Ostend and Bruges there was a commotion in the upper part of a double-decker carriage. A group of friends reportedly first verbally attacked the female train conductor before physically assaulting her. The woman received several serious blows.
When Securail – the security service of the Belgian railways – and the police were notified by the train conductor and her colleague, the perpetrator and his friends allegedly moved to another wagon, in the hope of escaping the police. That didn’t work: in Bruges the man was taken off the train by Securail, the Railway Police, and the local police. The NMBS confirms that it concerns the well-known Tiktokker ‘Good boy’.
The train conductor went to the hospital for treatment and has been declared unfit for work for at least a few days. “She is currently at home recovering from the incident,” said a spokesperson for the NMBS. The woman has filed a complaint, and NMBS will – as usual in these types of cases – take civil action as a statement of support.
Arrested
In a case of extortion, Tseboyev had previously been imposed conditions by the council chamber. These facts are said to have happened at the end of 2022 in Wingene, Tielt and Sint-Niklaas. “One of the conditions concerned not committing criminal offences,” the public prosecutor’s office reports. Under these circumstances, the suspect was brought before the Bruges investigating judge again on Friday afternoon. He decided to arrest him again. The Bruges council chamber will judge on Tuesday whether the TikTokker should stay in prison longer.
Already third incident
‘Good boy’ already found himself in the eye of the storm in October, when it turned out that he had entered the control cabin of a train and played with the controls. But the Tiktokker – better known at the registry office as 20-year-old Alexander Tseboyev from Wingene – felt at the time that he was not at fault. “I just felt like doing this,” said the final-year sales student. “It wasn’t a mistake, I just do this to give people a good day. The youth can have a laugh, right? If they leave the door open at the NMBS themselves and a Tiktokker happens to pass by, they are out of luck.”
The Tiktokker previously came to attention when he took a seat in the driver’s cabin of a train. In addition, he was already affiliated with the PXL and UHasselt.
Moreover, that was not Tseboyev’s first incident with the NMBS. Earlier this year, the Tiktokker got into trouble with a train conductor when he could not produce a valid discount card. He also made a post about it on Tiktok. According to the NMBS, the conductor was injured in the hand during the skirmish.
The young man had also previously come under fire because he had disrupted some classes at Hasselt University and PXL University of Applied Sciences.
In December 2022, he threatened a 13-year-old student at the Sint-Pieters station in Ghent. He was ultimately sentenced for those offenses to 50 hours of community service.
