BOSTON (CBS) - Police have arrested a man they say started an argument with a group of people at the MBTA's Park Street station and then tackled a woman to the ground shortly after midnight Friday morning.

Loudon Fruth, 27, of Boston, is alleged to have approached a group of people and started an argument with them. According to an officer who was patrolling the Boston Common across the street, Fruth then approached a woman, tackled her to the ground and landed on her.
