Anger as two women attack father and his young daughter in Boston subway

A father and his young daughter were attacked while riding the subway late at night in Boston.

City police are now asking the public for help in identifying the two women suspected of being responsible for the attack, which occurred on an MBTA subway train last month.

The Transit Police Department released surveillance images of the suspects along with details of the attack, which occurred around 1 a.m. on June 5 on a Red Line train between Downtown Crossing and Quincy Center.

Photos released by transit police show both suspects in a Red Line station.

One of the female suspects was wearing a tank top with the American flag and had several noticeable tattoos on her arms, chest and face.

The other had a blonde pixie cut and wore a black top with blue shorts.

The residents are shocked and angry about the incidents.

“It’s just bad. And karma is real – God doesn’t like ugliness,” Nene, who is also the mother of a four-year-old girl, told Boston25 News.

“It’s sad because that could be their father and I’m pretty sure they don’t want that to happen to their father,” she added.

Other passengers on Boston’s T subway line shared this view.

“It’s terrible. Of course nobody deserves this. I hope whoever sees her comes and tells the police because we have to get her,” said Tariq Sobhi from the Boston suburb of Quincy.

“Of course there are always precautions, but it shouldn’t be like this. It’s a safe city and we should all feel safe in our city. So I hope they get caught and justice is done,” he said.
