Boston Police report a guy who made off with a salad from the salad bar at the Pru Shaw's yesterday tried to hold a woman up on Huntington Avenue even as he was stuffing the salad into this mouth.

A security guard who was trailing Hector Tetzaguic, 38, of Dorchester, grabbed him and held him until police arrived, BPD says. He was charged with shoplifting and attempted larceny from a person.

Innocent, etc.

Channel 4 reports he was a 24-year veteran and was in the second car of an E train.

Some sort of accident at the intersection of Huntington and Parker around noon, Victoria Ryan tweets. Although the accident stopped trolley traffic, T spokesman Joe Pesaturo says no trolley was involved.

It makes it more difficult for the firefighters to hook up a hose to put out your car's engine fire:

The Universal Hub Eye in the Sky captured the scene around 9:25 this morning involving a Boston Transportation Department supervisor doing prep work for the Kennedy motorcade at Huntington and St. Alphonsus and firefighters trying to extinguish the fire in his car.

A Green Line commuter forwards this note to the Green Line superintendent and the Executive Office of Transportation:

This morning(8/24) at 7:50 A.M I boarded E Line,Green Line Car 3885B headed inbound at Longwood. The operator did not respond when I said good morning but this is nothing new to be ignored by MBTA workers. Then when the trolley went underground the operator proceeded to tail-gate the trolley in front of it at the Copley, Arlington and Boylston stations. At one point he left only 15 feet or so between the cars. At one of these three station before I got off at park Street he yelled out an expletive about a passenger he though was taking to long to enter the train. He said, "come through the F' ing doors." I am out of work. I would gladly take his place and treat MBTA passengers with respect and not endanger their lives.

The lights at the busy intersection are out, leading to a mess you might want to route around if you can.

Around 11 p.m. at Huntington and Forsyth, Boston_Fireman tweets.

Mark Epstein tweets from the scene that the victim appeared conscious as he was put in the ambulance:

Was yelling as a large crowd formed.

He has more reports from the scene.

Jeff Purser tweets:

I was on trolley that stuck a man near Northeastern University. Heard horn. Brakes. Thump.

Why crews were chopping down the trees along Huntington Avenue - you might want to have an aspirin handy because the story will make your head hurt.

Get stuck at Huntington Avenue and Gainsborough Street around 2:30 today? Emergency crews blocked off traffic to let a hazmat crew sop up a large antifreeze spill after an accident.

Channel 4 reports a man driving down Huntington Avenue early Wednesday was nearly done in by a frozen loaf of bread heaved into his windshield from a Wentworth dorm named Baker Hall. This is the second such incident involving the dorm in two weeks, the station says:

"I think they should put screens on the windows to prevent it," one student said.
