BOSTON (WHDH) - Police are turning to the public for help identifying a knife-wielding man who lunged at an MBTA bus driver after he was asked to put on a mask, officials announced Friday.
When the man boarded a bus at Boston Medical Center on the evening of Feb. 4, the driver politely requested he don a mask, according to the Transit Police Department.
The bus driver reportedly told police that the suspect ignored his request and stated “shut the f*** up” before threatening to stab him.
Police say the man later pulled out a knife and lunged at the driver but no contact was made.
Anyone who recognizes the man is urged to contact Transit police at 617-222-1050.
