Police: Sleeping Orange Line rider attacked T worker who woke him up at Forest Hills

Dion Stickter

Transit Police report that an MBTA worker who tried to wake a sleeping Orange Line passenger after the train arrived at Forest Hills last night found herself under attack.

Police say Dion Stickter, 45, "struck the female employee with a closed fist multiple times about her torso area" during the attack around 9:40 p.m.

Responding officers found him no easier to deal with, police say:

He became hostile and began to use racial epithets and refused to comply with the officers requests.

Stickter is scheduled for arraignment today in West Roxbury Municipal Court on charges of assault and battery on a public employee and trespassing.

Innocent, etc.

I live near forest hills station. This guy is there, wasted, all the time. Begging for money, being a miscreant. Is latest move is to try to open people's front doors in the area. Mine included, on two separate occasions, then pretend he's "looking for a room for rent" when the door is locked and people catch him. I've called the cops on him on multiple occasions, and they've done literally nothing. When I called the cops last Saturday night after he tried to open my door at 11PM the officers told me "Maybe you should get a better lock on your front door."

Happy he's been arrested. Hopefully he stays in jail...but somehow I doubt it.

Whoever said that really needs to be guided to a different line of work sooner rather than later.

over 30 years, I have been told by a suburban BPD member that maybe I should consider moving out of the city after my house, car, shed were broken into and personal, precious items were stolen. Of course, none of the crimes were every solved, if they were ever even investigated.

I am a city worker myself and this kind of treatment doesn't leave a good taste.

Clearly he needs public assistance, a free apartment, EBT card, drug maintenance program, food stamps, MassHealth, $6 HubWay membership etc.! :-)

that's unbelievable. I really respect cops unlike many of the cop haters here, but how could they not care about someone attempting to break into your house? what if he got in an harmed you or worse???? they should have rushed there and arrested him

He was up on my front porch last weekend, banging on my windows, yelling through my front door, demanding I let him in. I thought he was going to smash my windows after he found out I was home, so I called the cops. Cops showed up 15 minutes later. Said they have a pretty good idea of who it was and that they'll "look to have a talk with him". Sweet.

Props to the MBTA worker for trying to get him off the train. People like him are dangerous and take up tons of space on crowded trains.

During the Winter of our Discontent, I was on a slow-moving Red Line train that had to sit and wait a bit at Harvard. A chemicalized individual decided to stand outside, scream insults and slam the side of the train by the conductor's window. He then got on the train. There were uniformed people waiting for him at Alewife. The best part was that he actually looked surprised.

In a shock to absolutely no one, he was on a bench in front of Forest Hills getting stoned this morning. Because why the hell not.

How dare any of you disrespect my friend Dion. He has been my friend for the longest time maybe the better part of ten years I was a stand-up person. It's obvious drugs or some kind of situation has left him homeless and without a job and how dare anybody put him down and say that he belongs in jail. You people have some nerve I hope your relatives get hooked on drugs and end up homeless and you have to end up taking them in and living with them stealing and thieving off you and get a taste of your own Humble Pie low life losers

He used to be trustworthy and he drove a tractor trailer for a living worked in meat packing plant down in Boston for years real dedicated hard worker yeah he's had a few bouts with Lauren forcement doesn't make him a bad person. For the most part he's been a real good friend of mine until we parted ways and I had seen them forever trying to find them online and I just recently found this. It's really sad that some turn of events happened in his life the last I heard he got married and was living in his home state New York. Yes I would help him take him and get him cleaned up and get him working again get them off whatever drugs and substances and get him some help he was there for me as a friend when I was down and sad to see the comments you people make not knowing him as an individual who was very generous and he had a good heart and I believe he still does
