MBTA releases video of man in Halloween costume who allegedly assaulted trolley operator

MBTA Transit Police released a video Monday of a suspect dressed in a Halloween costume fleeing after he allegedly assaulted a trolley operator at the Cedar Grove Station early Sunday morning.

The 45-year-old trolley operator said that the man did not have money for the ride so he attacked him, punching and pulling him onto the train platform.

“This was a cowardly act and assaults on MBTA employees will NOT be tolerated,” transit police said in a statement.

Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 617-222-1050.
