Wanted Man Busted At Davis Square T Stop

He allegedly threatened to hurt everyone aboard a Red Line train, Transit Police said.

SOMERVILLE, MA – A Boston man was arrested Friday after he was confronted by a Transit Police officer who believed he looked like a suspect from a "Wanted" poster. Mark King, 55, allegedly resembled a man who got on a Red Line train and threatened to hurt everyone on board, Transit Police said.

The officer spoke to King and showed him the poster. When he asked if he knew the person pictured, King said the suspect looked like him but the picture "could have been photoshopped," according to Transit Police.

Police believed King to be the person on the poster and placed him into custody for the incident on board the Red Line. He also faces warrant charges of a larceny and threats to commit a crime in Brookline.
