Man uses his gluteus to the maximus to bust out of JFK/UMass. Transit Police report they wish to have a word or two or three with the bull moose of a guy they say was in such a rush to exit the Red Line at JFK/UMass around 9:15 p.m. on Sunday that he couldn't wait for his bulk to activate the gate sensor and instead used his caboose to bust out by smashing through the fare gate, leaving one of the plexiglass panels just lying on the floor. If the Gate Smasher - who really looks quite pleased with himself in the video - looks familiar, you can contact detectives at 617-222-1050, anonymously if you prefer.
