Man suffers stabbing pain on the Green Line

I was on one of the outbound trains this morning behind this incident and was stuck, unmoving between Boylston and Arlington for at least 15 minutes, closer to 20.

I get to work and explain the situation to my boss (and why I couldn't call w/no cell service underground), and then I go on the MBTA website to see if the delay is posted. It was not; there was, however, a delay listed from 5:43am pertaining to the Orange Line.

I call the MBTA, they say they'll fix it/note it.....wait 15 minutes, & nothing changes.

I write the MBTA a comment.....wait 15 minutes, & nothing changes.

Call the MBTA again and explain the situation; nice agent on the phone says that she has no record of it but will investigate and call me back; she also says they'll also be happy to send me a letter for my boss if it was genuine.

Still -- this delay does not appear on the MBTA website, but the Globe has it.

How much more incompetence does the MBTA have up its sleeve?

It took an ambulance, transit police and about a dozen BPD? I walked by the scene and I thought there was another trolley crash - Dartmouth street was blocked off and there had to be at least 5 cruisers, a paddy wagon, an ambulance and a Transit police car - maybe they wanted to congratulate the guy for his Darwin Award-Honorable Mention?

"The knife went through the pocket and stabbed the man at about 8:10 a.m.

“It caused a serious injury, but it’s not life threatening..."

That seems like a euphemism for "He stabbed himself in the nuts". I don't think an ass wound of any kind qualifies as a "serious injury".
