Police seek help identifying 2 women accused of attacking father, young daughter on MBTA train
Police are turning to the public for help identifying two women who allegedly attacked a father and his young daughter while on an MBTA subway train last week.
The Transit Police Department on Friday released surveillance images of the suspects and said the attack happened on a Red Line train between Downtown Crossing and Quincy Center stations on June 5 around 1 a.m.
“It’s just bad. And karma is real - God don’t like ugly,” Nene, a Quincy mother, told Boston 25.
Nene has a 4 year old little girl and she’s upset about an alleged attack on the T.
“That’s sad because that could be their father and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want that to be done to their dad,” said Nene.
She’s not alone. Other T-riders shared her concern.
“It’s horrible. Obviously, no one ever deserves that,” said Tariq Sobhi of Quincy.
T police say if you see these two let them know.
“I hope whoever sees them comes and tells the police because we need to get them,” he said.
Tariq says riders should be able to take the T without fear of being attacked and he hopes police catch up with this pair soon.
“Definitely, there’s always precautions but you shouldn’t be that way. It’s a safe town and we should all feel safe on our town so I hope they get caught and justice is served,” he said.
Anyone who recognizes these assault and battery suspects is urged to contact Transit police at 617-222-1050.
There were no additional details immediately available.
An investigation is ongoing.
