Police in Boston have arrested the man who was infamously caught receiving a blowjob on a subway platform last week—at 2:30 p.m.

According to the Boston Globe, 50-year-old Philip Urban was arrested members of the MBTA Transit Police's Special Crimes Unit last night. As a sign of the times, police tracked the Malden, Mass. resident down after the image went viral: 


Police were tipped off about Urban’s alleged activity after a photo of the sexual act was shared on Facebook, and later went viral.


After widely distributing surveillance photos of Urban on their own Facebook page and blog this week, officers were able take Urban into custody.


We received some tips, but we put a lot of time into reviewing images from our public safety cameras, and we were able to track him to Malden, said Transit Police Lieutenant Richard Sullivan.

Urban was charged with open and gross lewdness, and faces up to three years in a state prison if convicted. Watch what you do in public, as it could land you in jail and before a state sex offender registry board—two places you don't want to be.
