BOSTON -- A Boston man was arrested Friday, accused of assaulting and groping passengers on a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority trolley.

MBTA police said they were called to the Coolidge Corner MBTA stop in Brookline at about 10:15 p.m. Friday for a report that a man assaulted several people on a trolley car.

One woman told MBTA police that a man, later identified as Carlos Delacruz, put his hand on her buttocks as she rode the C Line trolley. The woman's boyfriend told Delacruz to get away from her, and the couple reported the incident to an MBTA employee.

Another woman told police that Delacruz touched her repeatedly in the shoulder. When a man stepped between them, the man said Delacruz "violently" pushed him in the chest, according to the police report.

MBTA police said Delacruz kicked and screamed obscenities when they tried to take him into custody.

Delacruz was charged with indecent assault and battery, three counts of assault and battery and disorderly conduct.
