Man accused of indecent exposure on the Green Line

BOSTON -- A man from Ireland was arrested on Monday after he allegedly exposed himself at a MBTA trolley station.

Michael Brown, 34, of Limerick, Ireland, was arrested at the Green Line's Symphony station around 7:30 p.m. Monday.

Two witnesses reported that Brown approached them with his pants down and had made lewd comments to them. One of the victims said she could feel him against her lower back.

When police arrived at the station, they found Brown standing in the lobby with his pants down. When asked to stop, Brown refused to show his hands and attempted to point his penis at police, the MBTA said.

Police detained Brown and found a small zip-lock bag containing a white powdery substance.

Brown was charged with open and gross lewdness and possession of a class B substance.
