DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Transit police are turning to the public for help identifying a man caught on security cameras throwing a metal object onto the tracks at Andrew Station.
Investigators say the man intentionally threw the object into the pit where it struck the electrified third rail around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.
MBTA personnel had to shut off power to the station to remove the hazard and needless delays were caused, according to police.
