The city of Boston can sleep easy tonight: A man accused of receiving oral sex in a train station has been arrested.

The incident drew widespread attention after an MBTA passenger posted a picture of it on Facebook, and prompted a city-wide manhunt.

“On May 21, 2015 we posted images of a person of interest relative to an Open & Gross Lewdness act committed at the MBTA’s State Street Station on 05/15/2015,’’ transit police said in a statement.

“Subsequent to an investigation, members of the Transit Police Special Crimes Unit did place Philip Urban, 50, of Malden into custody last night at approximately 7:PM in Malden. It is expected Urban will be arraigned today in Boston Municipal Court-Central Division for Open & Gross Lewdness.’’


Earlier this week, police posted an image of a man they said was a suspect. He was wearing what appeared to be the same outfit as the oral sex recipient in the Facebook image.

Police said earlier this week that the couple, if caught, would face felony charges and could end up on the state’s sex offender registry.

The trains may not always run on time, but at least anyone accused of having too much of a good time in a public train station will be brought to swift justice.
