BOSTON (WHDH) - Transit police are searching for a man who they say spat on a woman at the JFK/UMass MBTA Station in Boston on Tuesday.
Officers responding to the assault at 5:15 p.m. were told that a man spat on the victim after he “piggybacked” behind her at the fare gate in Dorchester, authorities said.
Transit police released a photo of the suspect on Saturday, who is expected to be charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot) once he is arrested.
Anyone with information on the suspect and his whereabouts is asked to contact transit police at 617-222-1050 or text a tip to 873873.
