A Boston couple is facing charges for assault and civil rights violations after they were accused of brutally attacking a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) worker, who they described with racial slurs.

A Transit Police arrest report obtained by the Boston Globe said that the 29-year-old MBTA employee was escorting an intoxicated passenger at the Orange Line station early Sunday morning when he was sucker-punched by 45-year-old Robert G. Snyder.

Snyder reportedly put the victim in a headlock, allowing 28-year-old Shayla Witts to also punch him and rip out his hair. Police responding to the scene found a trail of blood about 30 feet long that included hair extensions pulled from the victim’s head.
