A Sharon woman was arrested Monday evening at the MBTA’s Readville Commuter Station after she allegedly attacked a train conductor, authorities said.

Transit police said officers responded to the station around 10 p.m. where the train conductor told them the woman, 23-year-old Emma Bloom, refused to pay the train fare. According to police, when the conductor told Bloom she’d have to get off the train if she didn’t pay, she began kicking, punching, and biting him. She also allegedly took out a folding knife and threatened to stab the conductor, according to police.

Bloom has been charged with assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot). She is expected to be arraigned Tuesday in West Roxbury District Court.

Police said Bloom was involved in a previous incident in Medfield where she allegedly tried to run over an officer.

Ticking bomb. I really hope a judge gets this wackadoodle off the street and into a locked ward with some head doctors before she goes completely psychotic

Why do I get the feeling in a couple years we’ll be reading about her doing bath salts and trying to chew someone’s face off, while running around naked and barking like a dog?

The town is Sharon. The parking lot of the Sharon commuter rail station was the scene of a shoot-out in the 1973 Robert Mitchum movie “The Friends of Eddie Coyle”.

Well, did (s)he ever return? No, (s)he never returned and her fate is still unknown.
(What a pity! Poor ole Emma. Shame and scandal. (S)he may ride forever. Just like Paul Revere.)
(S)he may ride forever ‘neath the streets of Boston. (S)he’s the (wo)man who never returned.

If he is a good conductor he would’a grounded her...

It's shocking that you would make light of her predicament - after all, she's evidently not the brightest bulb...

People in Sharon must be proof that Mrs. Bill will sweep CT, as JFK did.

In his defense, he might have had other duties to attend to besides conducting. In other words, he might have been just a semiconductor.

(sorry)

Well, did she ever return? No, she never returned and his fate is still unlearned. she may ride forever neath the streets of Boston, She’s the one who never returned.
