MBTA Police Looking For Man Who Exposed Self Christmas Eve

BOSTON (CBS) - MBTA police are asking for the public's help to find a man who's been brazenly exposing himself to riders on the T.

A passenger snapped a photo of the man as he fondled himself while standing in the middle of an outbound Blue Line car around 5:40 on Christmas Eve between the Aquarium and Airport stations.

The same suspect is believed to have committed a similar act an hour earlier on a Red Line train near Park Street.

Deputy MBTA Police Chief Joseph O'Connor says the man exposed himself through a slit in his pants next to his zipper. O'Connor says this indicates he planned his lewd behavior and has done it before.

The suspect has a beard, and was wearing a dark blazer and a gray baseball cap at the time.

Police are asking anyone who recognizes the man to call them.
