There have been at least four sexual assaults reported over several months and the investigation is not over, according to police for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 50s. He is about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build and white hair. He has been seen wearing a long beige coat, beige dress shirt, beige pants or blue jeans, and sneakers. In each alleged assault, the man was also wearing sunglasses and carrying a newspaper or briefcase.
