BOSTON — An MBTA rider was told to scram after what he was said was a pickup attempt on the Orange Line turned out to be pretty harassing, transit police said. Transit police said it got a call late Monday night for help at the Forest Hills station. A 20-year-old woman said while she was on the train, a man dressed in all black with his hood and mask covering his entire face showed her a message on his phone: "I am Satan." The woman said the man then stared at her. "The reporting party informed the officers this frightened her and pointed out the alleged Satan," authorities wrote. "Satan" turned out to be a 22-year-old Boston man who police said admitted to the actions, saying he was being flirtatious and was "going to try and get her number." Police escorted the woman to where she was headed and kicked the man out of the station.
