BOSTON -- A spike in violence at one of Boston's busiest MBTA stops has police taking action.

Police told the Boston Herald that youth violence at the Downtown Crossing stop has reached a dangerous level.

Several agencies will meet Tuesday to decide how to combat the problem.

Monday, officers broke up several fights at the station. Police said 200 students were there.

Last week, police said gunshots were fired and two men were stabbed just before a busy commuter rush period.
