Alleged perv MBTA Transit Police report they're looking for a guy in a rugby shirt who decided a woman on a Red Line train would be really fascinated by his physiognomy.

Police report what happened around 6:30 p.m. on an inbound train between Braintree and Broadway:

On two separate occasions during the trip, the subject stood in front of the victim while continuing to inappropriately touch himself. The victim’s friend was able to take a photo of the suspect with her cell phone. An unidentified male passenger, who observed the actions of the suspect, intervened and assisted in notifying police.

He's described as between 20 and 30, with short brown hair and a goatee. In addition to his orange-and-green shirt, he was wearing khaki shorts and dark Nike sneakers and carried a large suitcase.

If he looks familiar, contact Officer James Kerns at 617-222-1015 or the Transit Police Intelligence Unit at 617-222-1170.

On the other hand, the platforms should be safer, since every Red Line station has several T employees who help the driver see when the doors are clear.

I don't think that situation will last

The ex-door guards will probably end up in the "customer service" booths. You know, the ones that don't have any way for customers to actually speak to the employees inside.

His physiognomy?

His physiognomy? I thought we had a funny name for it in my family.
