A Boston man accused of punching and kicking a transgender woman during a violent attack on a train last month was charged with assault and other crimes, officials said. The unidentified victim, 41, told transit police that she was attacked on Halloween at the Maverick train station, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said in a news release.
'We will never tolerate anyone being subjected to abuse — much less physical attack—for their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,' District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement. 'And all our residents and visitors have the right and expectation to travel on public transportation in peace and safety.' The attack happened as the Blue Line train was stopped with the doors open.
