On April 24, 2016 at approximately 6:45PM Transit Police officers assigned to the South District received a radio call to respond to Warren and Moreland Streets Roxbury for a report of an MBTA bus operator who was assaulted. Upon arrival officers met with the bus operator as well as independent witnesses.

The operator explained to Diaz-Vasquez he must pay his fare or exit the bus. Diaz-Vasquez stepped off the bus and spat upon the bus operator striking her and then fled the area.
Shortly thereafter Transit Police Officers while at Dudley MBTA station observed Diaz-Vasquez. As Officers approached Diaz-Vasquez he pushed a shopping carriage at the officers and fled. Officers gave chase and after a lengthy pursuit apprehended Diaz-Vasquez and placed him into custody for various assault charges.

| Daniel Koolick |
On October 22, 2016 at approximately 3:30PM Transit Police officers assigned to the North District received a radio call to respond to the Middlesex Turnpike in Burlington for a report of an MBTA bus operator who was assaulted. Upon arrival officers ascertained the following information: a male, later identified as Daniel Koolick, 21, of Burlington boarded an MBTA bus at Alewife station. While travelling through the Burlington Mall Koolick decided he wanted to exit the bus. The MBTA bus operator/victim explained to Koolick he could not stop the bus in between stops but assured Koolick he would stop at the next stop, which was less then a minute away. This angered Koolick as he began screaming at the operator and kicking/breaking the doors and windows of the bus. Koolick then physically attacked the operator by grabbing him by the throat and screaming. "Do you want to die". Subsequently Koolick relinquished his grip on the victims neck and fled off the bus.
Koolick in his haste to flee left his cellular telephone behind. At this time numerous Transit and Burlington Police vehicles were on scene and clearly visible. Koolick, obviously not a member of the Mensa Society, returned amongst the police activity to retrieve his phone and was subsequently placed into custody for Aggravated Assault & Battery (to wit Strangulation), Threats to Commit a Crime and Malicious Destruction of Property. Koolick was transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process and will be arraigned sometime today.
Assaults on MBTA employees will NOT be tolerated and the TPD will vigorously pursue and prosecute anyone who does so.

| Jason Santos |
On May 15, 2016 at approximately 2:40PM Transit Police officers assigned to the South District received a radio call to respond to 230 Western Ave in Allston for a report of an assault on an MBTA bus operator. Upon arrival officers observed a male, later identified as Jason Santos, 36, of Belmont bleeding from his knuckles. Officers then ascertained the following; a Route 86 MBTA bus while traveling in the vicinity of 300 Western Ave was passed by Santos who was operating a Toyota Scion. Shortly thereafter when the bus operator attempted to pull into the bus stop in the vicinity of 230 Western Ave he was prevented from doing so by Santos vehicle who was blocking the bus stop. The MBTA bus operator was forced to stop in the middle street to allow passengers to disembark which caused delays for vehicles behind the bus. At this time Santos got out of his vehicle and approached the driver side of the MBTA bus and violently punched the window forcing it to shatter with shards of glass hitting the bus operator in his face and torso area. The MBTA bus operator was treated for possible shards of glass in his eyes by Boston EMS.
Santos claimed the bus operator cut him off and he was simply going to remind him to "use his mirrors" next time. Santos was placed into custody for Malicious Destruction of Property and Assault & Battery on a Public Employee and transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process.

Everett incident 12 18 2016 MBTA Bus
Everett incident 12 18 2016 MBTA Bus
On December 18, 2016 at approximately 2:25pm in the vicinity of 178 Elm Street in Everett a Route 110 MBTA bus was involved in an accident involving a pedestrian. A preliminary investigation by Transit Police detectives suggest the following: an MBTA bus operator, after having stopped in a dedicated authorized bus stop, was in the process of pulling away. The MBTA bus speed at the time was approximately 3 to 5 miles per hour. At this time a male, a 58 year old resident of Boston, exited from a local area business and began to chase after the bus. The male ran off the sidewalk, entered into the street and began hitting the back of the bus in a apparent attempt to gain the operators attention so he could board the bus. In doing so the male lost his balance and fell onto the street and partially under the bus. At this point in time the bus made contact with the males leg.The male sustained a NON life threatening injury and was transported to a local area hospital for treatment.
The incident remains under investigation at this time, however preliminary investigation suggests the bus operators actions did NOT contribute to the incident.
