'Boy Band'-Looking Swedish Cops Stop NYC Subway Fight En Route to Broadway Show

— -- Four Swedish cops vacationing in New York City helped break up a fight between two straphangers on a 6-train subway Wednesday afternoon, the New York City Police Department confirmed today.

But in addition to their heroics, what's boosted their instant celebrity is their "boy band" looks.

"OK, so are the brawl-stopping Swedish policemen heroes ALSO a mid-90s boy band or...?" Twitter user Rachel H. Smith wrote.

New York City resident Raymond Casanova caught the incident on cellphone video and uploaded it to YouTube, he said.

"I was hopping on an uptown 6 train at the Bleecker Street subway station when I noticed the train was being delayed due to a commotion occurring at the first car," Casanova told ABC News today.

He then went around and saw the four off-duty cops, who he later learned were from Sweden, he said.

"If you hear the audio carefully, you can even hear the [Swedish] cops asking the man they were restraining if he was OK several times," Casanova said.

NYPD officers showed up a few minutes later, a spokesman for the department said.

"There was a physical fight between two gentlemen, and four off-duty Swedish cops were able to stop the fight and held the aggressive, irrational gentleman down," a NYPD spokesman told ABC News today. "No arrests were made, and the man acting irrational was taken to a hospital for evaluation."

The Swedish cops who stepped in were reportedly Erik Näslund, 26, Samuel Kvarzell, 25, Makrus Åsberg, 25, and Eric Jansberger, 28, DNAinfo New York reported, adding that the four were on their way to see "Les Miserables" on Broadway.

"We're just regular tourists," Åsberg told DNAinfo. "Is this a big deal?"
