A Massachusetts commuter has been arrested after bystander video shows an elderly woman being shoved off of a bus and violently slammed to the ground in the latest attack caught on camera on a major blue city’s public transit system. 

The suspect has been identified as Luz Pineda, according to the Boston Globe. Pineda was located and taken into custody on Wednesday, the MBTA Transit Police confirmed to Fox News Digital. 

Police said the Sept. 8 incident occurred at around 1 p.m. on the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Warren Street, just three miles from Fenway Park in Boston. 

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles addressed the public’s concerns while vowing to review the city’s public transit safety operations. 

“City leaders have been working to improve safety in our community and on our transit system and we will continue to do so,” Lyles wrote in a post on X.   

Lyles added that changes will be implemented throughout the transit system, such as an increased security presence as nearly “30 additional security personnel” are expected to be added to the Blue Line. 

“We are committed to working with everyone to ensure that our community continues to be safe,” Lyles wrote. “I believe in Charlotte, and we will come out stronger together.”
