A Fall River man and Boston woman were arrested on warrants Friday morning near Government Center Station after a “concerned citizen” reported an alleged sex act, according to an MBTA Transit Police release.

The citizen approached officers at the downtown Boston station shortly before 9 a.m. and said “there was a man and woman engaged in a sex act behind the station,” the release said.

“Upon arrival officers observed a male, later identified as Shannon O’Malley, 45, of Fall River adjusting his pants and a female, later identified as Meghan Dunn, 41, of Boston seated on a bench,” the release said. “The couple denied any sexual activity had taken place however officers subsequently discovered both Dunn and O’Malley had warrants in existence for their arrest.”
