"Prosecutors say Reed was among a group of teenagers who confronted a fellow T rider at the State Street stop around 11:20 p.m. on Jan. 14. The young people allegedly accused the man of photographing them, which he denied, but the altercation didn't end there. According to prosecutors, Reed split from the others and took the man's cellphone from his hand, throwing it on the ground several times until it shattered."
"As the man attempted to gather his belongings, Reed "forcefully" took his suitcase and threw it onto the tracks, putting it in contact with the third rail, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said. The suitcase "created a large explosion" and caught on fire, suspending train service for some time, prosecutors said. According to the DA's office, the man told police his suitcase contained two iPads, a laptop, Apple AirPods, and chargers, putting the total value at more than $3,000."
On Jan. 14 around 11:20 p.m., a group of teenagers confronted a fellow rider at the State Street MBTA stop, accusing him of photographing them. One teenager, Addonis Reed, 19, allegedly separated from the group, seized the man's cellphone and smashed it on the ground. Reed then allegedly grabbed the man's suitcase, threw it onto the tracks and placed it in contact with the third rail, producing a large explosion and fire that suspended train service. The suitcase reportedly held two iPads, a laptop, Apple AirPods and chargers valued over $3,000. Reed faces multiple charges and remains held on $10,000 bail; his attorney declined to comment. Reed has a pending separate case with similar charges.
