BOSTON (CBS) – A Boston man was arrested by MBTA Transit Police after they say he groped a Cambridge woman on a train last month.

The suspect, 25-year-old Brian Canning, allegedly grabbed the victim's buttocks November 1st, in a crowded Red Line train.  The alleged assault reportedly took place between the Charles/MGH MBTA and the Park Street stops.
