BOSTON (WHDH) - The MBTA’s Government Center Station has been temporarily closed due to heavy police activity in the area Tuesday night.
Much of the area is roped off and both Blue and Green Line trains are bypassing the station while authorities continue to investigate.
Video of the scene shows the investigation centering on what appears to be a piece of kitchen equipment that was placed under a bench.
