Police are asking for the public’s help identifying the suspect.
MBTA Transit police are asking for the public’s help identifying a man who they say removed his pants and underwear on a Red Line train last week and committed a “lewd act.”
The alleged incident took place around 10:50 a.m. on April 21, when police said the man boarded a train at Ashmont station.
“Upon taking a seat the male subject removed his pants and underwear, laid down and began to commit a lewd act,” police said in a statement. “This was done in full view of other passengers present.”
Police shared a photo of the man’s bare legs stretched across the train’s seats, as well as images of the fully-clothed suspect in the station.
Anyone with information about the location or identity of the man is being asked to contact the department’s Criminal Investigations Unit at 617-222-1050 or text the number to share an anonymous tip.
