BOSTON (WHDH) - Police are searching for a man who is wanted in connection with an “unprovoked and violent” attack on a woman at North Station, authorities said.
The alleged attacked happened near the Commuter Rail tracks just before 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Transit Police Department.
The suspect, who was caught on surveillance video wearing a Patriots beanie and a black jacket, reportedly attacked the victim with a blunt object.
MBTA Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan says the suspect “mustered as much strength as he could and he swung that blunt object right at the victim, directly in her face.”
There was no immediate word on the victim’s condition.
Commuters say the apparent randomness of the attack is alarming.
“It’s scary when it happens in the city you live in,” commuter Laura Schlenker said.
Anyone who recognizes the man is asked to contact transit police investigators at 617-222-1050.
