Man Allegedly Peed On Fellow Bus Passenger, Will Face Charges

BOSTON, MA — A man who appeared intoxicated will face charges for allegedly urinating on a fellow passenger while riding a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority bus on Monday night, police said.

At around 9:55 p.m. Monday, MBTA officers responded to a radio call for a male who urinated on another passenger in the area of 70 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, police said.

Officers located the victim, an adult male, who said while the bus was traveling on Massachusetts Avenue, he was "alerted to a stream of liquid running by his feet and other passengers looking at him with their 'eyes wide open,'" police said.

The suspect, a 24-year-old Boston man, was pointed out to the officers. Police said he appeared intoxicated and "had no explanation for his actions."

He was transported to a local hospital after officers called an ambulance due to the level of his intoxication, police said, and charges against him are pending.

The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
