    Police in Upper Darby Township outside of Philadelphia say a woman was raped on a train on Wednesday night while a carload of riders did nothing to intervene.

    Officers arrested the suspect after an employee for the train service SEPTA alerted them. Police say there is train surveillance, and they were also told that some riders videotaped the horrific incident.
