Authorities Looking for Secret Service Impersonator After Commuter Rail Incident

A man allegedly pretended to be a Secret Service agent on a commuter rail train in Boston.

The United States government and local authorities are looking for a man who they say pretended to be a Secret Service agent on a Commuter Rail train in Boston, CBS Boston reported

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is currently working with the Secret Service on the matter, and while the man reportedly argued with a conductor over who he was, officials have expressed confidence that the man is not actually a federal agent, according to the report. 

While Massachusetts Transit Police have not said where the incident occurred, another passenger on the train recorded it on video and uploaded it to Reddit and YouTube late last week, according to CBS Boston.
