BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — MBTA Transit Police responded to a call Monday night to the MBTA Forest Hills station for what appears to have been a flirting attempt gone wrong.
A 20-year-old woman told police that she was riding an Orange Line train when a 22-year-old man sat down across from her. He was dressed in all black clothes, wearing a mask that was covering his whole face, and had his hood with the draw string pulled tightly around his face, according to police.
The woman said he then typed a message on his phone saying "I am Satan," and then showed the woman the message.

When police arrived, the man, from Boston, admitted to displaying the message "while staring at her ominously but claimed he was only flirting with her and trying to be funny," authorities said. He told police he was trying to get her number.
Officers told the man the woman did not find it funny, and ejected him from the state. Police then escorted the woman to her destination.
