MBTA police arrested a man on the Green Line Monday, after he allegedly exposed himself at a "T" stop.
Michael Brown, 34, of Limerick, Ireland was arrested at the Symphony station at 10:30 p.m.
Two witnesses told police that Brown approached them from behind while they were at the automatic fare collector machine. According to the victims, the suspect made lewd comments to them.
One of the victims said she could feel Brown against her lower back.
When police arrived at the station, they allegedly found Brown standing in the lobby with his pants down. Police detained Brown and found a small zip-lock back in his pocket that had a white powdery substance inside.
He was later charged with open and gross lewdness and drug possession.
In April, the MBTA launched
a campaign to crack down on sexual harassment on busses and subways.
