The MBTA said police activity at Broadway would delay the Red Line about 20 minutes, and might have trains staying at stations. The agency later brought in shuttle buses to run between Park Street and North Quincy stations because of the police activity.

By 11 p.m., regular service had resumed from Broadway to Park Street, but shuttle buses continued running to North Quincy.
