When the train stopped at Community College the off duty officers attention was drawn to an unknown disturbance on another car and he also overheard an MBTA transportation official state " Get off the train, get off the train", to those responsible for the disturbance. The pair who instigated the disturbance a father and his daughter, later identified as David Muse, 48, and Madison Muse, 22, both of Saugus exited the train and begin to walk on the platform. As they did so Madison Muse was yelling racial slurs and expletives. At this time the off duty officer began to video record Madison Muses behavior and offensive racially charged language.
