Police: Woman beaten up in South Station restroom; two arrested
By adamg on Mon, 08/15/2011 - 2:16pm
Brown (l) and Wilton. A woman cleaning up in a South Station restroom early this morning found herself under attack by two other women apparently upset she'd put her belongings on a counter, MBTA Transit Police report.
Melissa Brown, 31, of Worcester, and Jasmine Wilton, 20, of Lynn, were both charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon following the incident around 5:40 a.m., police say.
According to police, the victim, a 44-year-old woman from Somerville, was in the restroom when the two other women entered. She asked them to be careful of her belongings, in particular a black back in which she told them she had her pet cat. According to police:
The suspects became irate and stated to the victim, "get your pussy off of the counter." The suspects then began to push all of her belongings off of the vanity and physically assault her by punching her several times, pushing her to the ground and kicking her repeatedly.
She began to scream, which brought a security guard, who summoned police - who found the two attempting to leave the station by way of the track area "in a quick manner."
Innocent, etc.

Guess that explains the Police/EMS I saw this morning
I was dropping my in-laws off at South Station just after 6am and an ambulance was pulling up to the Subway entrance area. A police wagon was already there (pretty sure it was the Transit Police).
Tip of the day
Don't mug it up for your mug shot. It does nothing for trying to convey that you really feel bad about what happened, even if you don't.
Stay classy
not trashy.
Hopefully they can get some
Hopefully they can get some eyebrow rehabilitation in jail.
Disgusting behavior.
Is the cat okay?
It's not that I don't care about the victim--I do--but if she was taken by ambulance, did someone make sure the kitty was safe?
Such pretty girls!,

Assault of a defenseless
Assault of a defenseless being (cat trapped in a black "back") is an indicator of serious psychological problems. There literally is no other explanation. These women are messed up in the head and therefore do not fit into society and require serious intervention. Do not let them out.
Mad
They were upset that the Pizzeria Regina doesn't open until 11:00.
Something must be lost in
Something must be lost in translation here.
LOL
"Get your pussy off of the counter"
The best quote all day long on here!
I will never understand what
I will never understand what is wrong with people who believe this is not only acceptable behavior, but actions of which they should be proud (the, ahem, "20" year old seems to be quite pleased with herself in that photo).
Introducing
What and Ever
Yum!
Looks and personality!
Pretty things
Looks like Vicky Pollard would be in good company here.
omg i'm just loving that
omg i'm just loving that someone else knows who Vicki Pollard is. "I didn't do nuthin' fer nuthin' SHADDAP!" Oh, and these two wastes of space need to do hard labor, to understand what it means to work, and to lose some weight.
Makes No sense
Obviously something is missing...this article doesnt make any sense. The news/newspapers constantly exaggerate and add things in to make it look more appealing to the public, anyone who believes this is clearly blind. Isnt it animal cruelty if there was a cat in a bag? Just saying. Im sure the woman isnt completely innocent people just dont go around attacking people for nothing. think about it.
haha who are you 1 of the
haha who are you 1 of the girls that got arrested, clown
Wow, Case Dismissed!
So, I am one of the people who was involved in this incident and guess what?!?! We went to court, multiple times and CASEEEE DISMISSSEDDDDD!!!! WOooooOOOHOoooOOO! Do you want to know why? Bc the police, reporters and everyone else who covered this lied about everything. I was in the bathroom, sitting on the counter and that lady came in the bathroom, slamming doors and throwing her "Cat in the bag" on top of the counter... She came up to me and was like "Get your pussy off the counter" I was like wtf? Is she serious?? We got into an arguement bc of what she said and how she addressed me and then she tried to fight with me bc I refused to get off the counter. This is a public bathroom, I can sit where I please. Security came in after like 3 minutes and told us to break it up, so I did... I got ready to exit the bathroom and then she came and tried to hit me with her steel thermos and thats when Jasmine jumped in. She blocked her hand from hitting me with the mug and then she tried to attack Jasmine.Security decided to come back again after leaving the bathroom and told us, hey you guys might as well just go bc the cops are coming, So we started to leave, then we were stopped. We were trying to run away, why run when I didn't feel like it was my fault in the first place??? This lady is a wanderer of Boston, she is in South Station every single morning... When she was fighting in that bathroom she was insane, she was grabbing my legs and wouldn't let me go anywhere, her eyes were popping out of her face... She was clearly on something. Me and Jasmine, Both... were judged the second the cops saw us bc there were two of us. When we were told we were under arrest, I told the cop... "Are you kidding me, are you even going to listen or let us tell you our side of the story??" They didn't even ask us what happened... They went and made their case based solely on what this wanderer said... Which to me is bullshit. To anyone that has posted on here.. and said our behavior was discusting, you are definately entitled to your opinions but the way I was raised and how I grew up was to stand up for what I believe in, and I am sorry but I am going to defend myself if someone tries to attack me for any reason no matter how old that person is or how many animals they have in their bag. Unfortunately it is a shame how the metro and every other news paper had to spice up this article just enough for people to become interested.... Funny, I think the actual REAL story is interesting enough. Sorry, I let you all down and wasn't sentenced to death lol.... maybe next time? Ohhh... and I'll try to make sure we eat less or get those brows taken care of next time, ok? lol... Crazy how society is... Two females that attack an older lady and all most of yall can say is... Umm wow, your ugly! lmaooo.... Now many people step out of a beauty salon at 6 in the morning, right before being arrested for BS. I am currently in the process of speaking with a lawyer to see if there is anything that we can do bc of the City of Boston choosing to tarnish our names or even discriminating against us from the beginning.
