 On August 28, 2022 at approximately 1:40PM Transit Police officers assigned to the South District received a radio call to respond to the MBTA's Mattapan station to speak with a trolley operator reporting an unknown male punched the trolley's window out. Upon arrival officers met with the reporting party who confirmed a male without provocation punched out the trolley's window while at the Milton High Speed Line station. The operator also provided a description of this individual and officers conducted an area search locating a male later identified as Jhovan Louis-Jeune, 33, of Dorchester at Milton Station attempting to board a trolley. 

Louis-Jeune was positively identified as the offending male and officers subsequently discovered there were several warrants in existence for Louis-Jeune's arrest issued out of Quincy District Court for Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon & Unarmed Robbery, Dorchester District Court for Assault to Murder, Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon and Brockton District Court for Disorderly Conduct, Disturbing the Peace, Vandalize Property, Shoplifting and Larceny from a Building.
