BOSTON (CBS) – Things got rowdy on the MBTA this St. Patrick’s Day. Transit police reported fighting, drinking and thousands of dollars worth of damage to a Commuter Rail train on Sunday.
The mayhem started at 11 a.m. on a Forge Park train headed into Boston for the parade, which drew more than 1 million people. Transit police said they observed a 17-year-old female juvenile from North Attleboro and 18-year-old Brendan McHugh, of Attleboro Falls, “intentionally punching out overhead lights on board causing over $7,000 worth of damage.” The train had to be stopped at Norwood Depot and officers took both into custody for malicious destruction to property.
