Vishal Dongre (28), Vivek Dhumal (32), Ravindra Dhanavade (28), Sanjay Ambawale (32) and Rajesh Gothal (28) were arrested from Nallasopara on the outskirts of Mumbai by a team of Government Railway Police, said an official.
The accused had allegedly thrashed up Sudhir Shukla, a TV journalist, and tried to throw him out of the running train, he said.
The incident had taken place between the suburban Mira Road and Andheri railway stations.
A group of passengers standing on the foot-board allegedly tried to stop Shukla from boarding the Andheri-bound train at Mira Road, saying there was no space inside.
