Juvenile male assaults TPD officer.

 On October 27, 2022, at approximately 4:50PM Transit Police officers were in the area of Downtown Crossing (Summer & Arch Street) when a 14-year-old male threw an unwrapped condom at them and then smashed his hand against their cruiser's windshield. The juvenile and his companions then fled running through a crowd of people causing pedestrians to jump out their way and into the street to avoid being knocked over. The officers caught up to the offending juvenile a short distance away. The juvenile was non-compliant and hurled numerous expletives at the officers. Ultimately the juvenile male with a closed fist punched the officer in his chest. At this time the juvenile, 14 of Dorchester, was placed into custody and transported to TPD HQ for the arrest booking process.

Dorchester man arrested for Indecently Assaulting a 15 & 18 year old.

 On October 15, 2022 at approximately 7:30PM two females, age 15 and 18, while on an MBTA Red Line train were Indecently Assaulted by an unknown male. The assaults took place on the train just outside Broadway Station. As a result of a Transit Police detective investigation a suspect was developed and a Person of Interest Poster was generated. On October 25, 2022 at approximately 6PM a very observant TPD officer spotted a male whom he believed resembled the subject depicted in the poster. The officer approached the male just outside of Downtown Crossing on Winter Place. The male, later identified as Edgar Alonzo, 35, of Dorchester, was positively identified as the offending male and placed into custody for Indecent Assault & Battery 2 counts and transported to TPD HQ for the arrest booking process.

East Boston man assault Lyft driver at Wonderland Station.

 On October 8, 2022 at approximately 1:27AM a Transit Police officer while at the MBTA Wonderland Station was flagged down by a male victim who relayed the following: Victim is a Lyft driver and responded to the MBTA Wonderland Station for a customer who ordered a ride for a single passenger. Upon arrival however the victim observed two customers, a female and the SP male, and they proceeded to enter the victim's vehicle. The Victim attempted to explain the Lyft order was only for a single person. The SP male became angry. The Victim tried to ease the situation by informing the SP male he would cancel the order for no charge. The female upon hearing this exited the victim's vehicle. The SP male however refused to exit but proceeded to the victim's passenger door and with a closed fist struck victim in the face and then again in the Victim's ear. Sp male then fled. 

Officers observed fresh blood dripping from Victim's face as well as a laceration above his right eye. The Victim supplied the officers with a description of the offending male and shortly thereafter officers located both the SP male and his female companion near the parking garage. The SP male admitted to assaulting the Victim and was positively identified. The SP male, a 30 year old East Boston resident, will be summoned into court for Assault and Battery.  Victim refused medical attention.
