An 18-year-old Roxbury man will be arraigned this morning in connection with Thursday’s daylight stabbing of two teens at the Roxbury Crossing MBTA station. Transit cops yesterday nabbed suspect Rene A. Torres, at 1 p.m. yesterday as he walked from his Slayton Way home to the Jackson Square station on the Orange Line. The brazen daylight stabbing left a 16-year-old clinging to life with a deep stab wound to his abdomen and an 18-year-old with a slashed scalp, chest and back. The 16-year-old’s condition has since improved and he is expected to survive. Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley heralded the arrest as the first test of new protocol he instituted in September to put state police detectives in charge of homicide investigations on the MBTA. “This was the first response to a near-homicide,” Conley said. Veteran homicide prosecutor John E. Powers headed the investigation, assisted by Boston police and Transit cops who helped analyze surveillance footage. Conley said an officer from the Boston Police Department’s gang unit was “instrumental” in the arrest. Torres is expected to be arraigned today in West Roxbury District Court on two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
