QUINCY — Police have arrested a Boston man in connection with a ‘senseless’ attack on an elderly man at the Quincy Center MBTA station Friday afternoon.
Armando Hernandez, 49, was arrested on a charge of assault and battery of an elderly person with injuries.

When they arrived they found a 92-year-old man who was bleeding from his head.
Witnesses pointed out a suspect, 49-year-old Armando Hernandez.
The victim told police he was shoved from behind, which caused him to fall and hit his head off the pavement. He was brought to the hospital for treatment.
