The time is just after 15.00 and Pågatåget will soon arrive in Bjuv when Mattias asks a teenage boy in the quiet compartment to stop talking on his mobile phone.

Surveillance photos show how they leave the cabin together after a call.

At the same time, the younger guy makes a call to his older brother who is sitting in another part of the train.

In a narrow corridor, they overpower Mattias, who is on his way to the staff compartment.

Witnesses see how the men feed about 20 kicks and blows to his head and body.

The pictures are repeated

The result: broken bones in the face and memories that are replayed every day.

- All trains look the same.

Every time I walk in the narrow aisles, the pictures come back, says Mattias.

And I prefer not to go into the quiet cabin at all.

He's not sure if more camera surveillance or double staffing would make him feel safe at work again - but he knows one thing:

He considers the verdict that fell against the men in Helsingborg District Court last week too mild.

- There was no restoration at all.

That two people unprovokedly abuse someone who gets three broken bones in the face, I think is gross violence against an official.

"Be serious violence"

But neither the prosecutor nor the judge thinks so.

The perpetrators were admittedly two and several blows were aimed at the head, the prosecutor reasons.

- It was serious violence, but not serious enough to be considered a serious crime and there the district court shared my opinion, says prosecutor Magnus Larsson, who submitted the lawsuit.

- In order for it to be considered serious, the act must include threats with, for example, a weapon or explosives.

If the men had been older, they would have been sentenced to three months in prison.

Conversation and community service

Instead, there are 20 hours of conversations in the social services for the younger, who after the act has reached the age of 18, and 100 hours of community service for the older brother who has reached the age of 21.

Both have denied the crime - and they oppose paying damages to Mattias.

- I used to think it was fun to go to work and meet colleagues.

Now I avoid people I know, says Mattias.
