Salah Koutaiby

On January 29, 2014 we posted about a  male subject who was arrested for an incident which occurred at Hynes MBTA station (See posting here). Apparently this was not Salah Koutaiby, 49 of East Boston, first time sexually harassing women and committing lewd acts in public. Subsequent to an investigation Transit Police detectives arrested Salah Koutaiby AGAIN on January 30, 2014 in Boston for an incident which occurred on March 25, 2013 at Hynes MBTA station. On that date a different female party reported Koutaiby was standing on the inbound platform at Hynes MBTA station staring at her while masturbating. The female party also reported Koutaiby was at the same location on January 27, 2014 staring at her, this time however a trolley entered the station and the female party quickly boarded.

It is expected Koutaiby will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court-Central Division sometime today for Open & Gross Lewdness.
