A Dorchester man has been taken into custody today for attacking a MBTA Transit Police Department officer outside the Dudley Square police station, the Boston Globe reports.
Henry L. Alexander is accused of yelling at the officer at 7:15 a.m., as he walked from his personal vehicle. The man saw the officer later, after the officer changed into uniform, and swung the cane at the officer's head, knocking off his uniform cap.
