Transit police in Boston arrested a 16-year-old male on Monday after a group of teens was recorded harassing an Asian American woman with racist language and trying to block her from leaving a train. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Transit Police said on social media that the teen was suspected of unarmed assault to rob and assault for the purpose of intimidation.
Dang told NBC News that the arrest has prompted some mixed emotions for her, but ultimately she hopes that the incident can lead to more productive conversations around racism and safety on public transit. “It’s bittersweet. It was a kid, you don’t want to get them in trouble,' she said. 'But again, their actions led to this.” Dang also emphasized that she felt the attack was not caused by just one person, but by a group of people who fed off of one another’s behavior.
