Four Swedish police officers were honored by the NYPD for their role in breaking up a fight on the subway earlier this week.

A witness tells NY1 the officers detained two men involved in a fight on an uptown 6 train at the Bleecker Street stop Wednesday.

They say one of the men was stomping on the other before the officers intervened.

The MTA cleared everyone off the train as the police held the men until the NYPD showed up.

"Four young officers from the Swedish National Police Service were here as tourists, four of the 56 million who visit this city to have a good time, and encountered a situation, a fight on the subway," said Police Commissioner William Bratton. "And by all accounts, I guess there's video, there's photographs, that acquitted themselves quite well. And I was noticing that the moves that they made were very much the same moves that we now teach our young people at the academy in terms of how to take people down in a way of trying to ensure that they are not injured."

The NYPD says the Swedish officers were on their way to a play when the fight broke out.

No arrests were made in the incident.
