Transit Police received information that Carlos Pires, age 48, had exposed himself to the woman while on a bus at Nubian Square Station around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 27.
Officers also learned that Pires was making "inappropriate and aggressive sexual comments" to the woman before bearing his genitals to her, Transit Police added.
As the woman pulled out her phone to call a relative, Pires said, "You trying to call the cops?" and tried ripping the phone out of her hand, police said.
Pires was later found on Roxbury Street at Shawmut Avenue where he made further derogatory comments about the woman and said to officers, "Now arrest me," which they did.
Pires was taken to TPD headquarters where he was charged with annoying & accosting, threats to commit a crime, disorderly conduct and attempted unarmed robbery.
Transit Police have run into Pires before for similar behavior and have sought charges for him in the past. Those charges are still pending, police said.
