The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is looking for a man who broke a gate at a subway stop early on Wednesday morning to avoid paying the fare.
A security camera caught a middle-aged black male with a large build and shaved head squeeze through a passenger gate at the Green Line's Science Park at about 5:50 am on Wednesday. When the man pried apart the 1-inch glass gate, it broke.
"He was pretty persistent in trying to get through", said MBTA General Manager Daniel Grabauskas said.
MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo said it will cost about $2,000 to replace the broken gate.
If caught, the man faces malicious destruction of property and fare evasion charges. The man was avoiding a $1.70 fare.
