Eric Foster |
On August 13, 2013 at approximately 8:30pm the same male attempted to board a Haverhill bound train from North Station. The same conductor/victim from the above referenced incident was also working on that train. The conductor refused to let the male board and called the Transit Police. Once again the male threatened the conductor with physical harm. The male fled prior to Transit Police arrival. However TPD officers conducted an area search and located a subject fitting the physical description provided by the victim inside the 7-11 on Causeway Street. The victim/conductor positively identified the male as the individual who assaulted him on the 9th and verbally threatened him moments earlier. The male, later identified as Eric Foster 28 of Plaistow, New Hamsphire was placed into custody and transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process. Foster is expected to be arraigned in Haverhill District Court sometime today for Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon.
