Man's ballsy performance on the Red Line catches attention of police

BallsyTransit Police report they're looking for this guy for going balls to the wall and other passengers on a hurtling Red Line train Sunday night.

According to police, the dude exposed himself to passengers on an outbound Red Line train between North Quincy and Wollaston around 9:50 p.m. He complemented his display with lewd comments - and a hairy-sac "Tea Bag" T-shirt.

If he looks familiar, contact detectives at 617-222-1050 or text an anonymous tip to 617-222-1050.

Gnarly: Now Red Line trains need warnings against hanging 10

Gnarly alleged surfer dude Transit Police say a South Boston man was charged with disorderly conduct Friday after officers discovered him "train surfing" from the back of an inbound Red Line train in Quincy.

Police say they found Justin Green, 29, hanging onto the top roof rail from the rear of the train, as it was pulling out of North Quincy around 5:30 p.m. A witness then told police he had seen Green doing the same thing at Wollaston.

Police say Green objected to being charged because he has "a God given right to do anything he wants" and that the only person that would have been harmed was himself.

Police, however, say Green forced a halt in Red Line service while they got him off the train.

They add that in addition to disorderly conduct, Green was packaged into a cruiser for a ride to Transit Police headquarters because he was wanted for evading jury duty.

Innocent, etc.

Ask the manager, MBTA style

Have something to say to the guy in charge of the T? Of course you do. Tomorrow's your chance: Richard Davey will be at the North Quincy stop on the Red Line between 7 and 9 a.m. "to customers concerns, and promote public transportation."

Nowhere near the City of Presidents? He'll be doing a whole lot of listening every Thursday for the next few weeks, including Thursday, April 15 between 7 and 9 a.m. at Dudley Square and the same time on April 22 at Kenmore.
