The individual who was shown being detained at Stadium-Armory station in videos circulating on social media was charged in connection to a robbery and assault that occurred after he fare evaded into the system. Our officers were assisted by our federal task force partners in the area who responded to the scene to help subdue the individual after he became combative during the arrest.
