UPDATE: The Orange Line is running again according to an MBTA rep. We're running the blotter early because Ruggles is shut down following a shooting on a train. WBZ reports that a 19-year-old went to Boston Medical Center. WCVB had more – the man was hit in the leg, it happened on the last car, and two black men ran off after the shooting. MBTA says the following on its site: Substitute bus service will......

--Police still haven't found the assailant who stabbed two teenagers at the Back Bay T stop. However, they have increased patrols on the Orange Line, which is much appreciated. WCVB rounded up comments from T riders, and one of them had some excellent advice: ""I think the problem is they depend too much on technology. They need to communicate."

At the top of the list is a violent attack that erupted at the Back Bay T stop yesterday afternoon, right on the southbound platform. An 18-year-old man was stabbed and left in critical condition. Witnesses said between eight and ten teenagers were involved in the attack.......

Picture this: you're strolling down the sidewalk from the trendy Union Bar and Grille towards the Back Bay T stop or heading from Haymarket over to Modern Pastry to grab a cannoli when suddenly, out of no where, a pack of roving Segway tourists come whizzing by. We're sure we've heard about these tours coming to Boston before – but according to the Globe today (on the front page, no less) they're closer than......
