A man who'd been wanted on suspicion of a rape in an MBTA station earlier this month was arrested Monday, police said.

Steven Wade Coffey, 27, had been sought since Sunday, Aug. 14, according to MBTA Transit Police. Coffey is believed to be unhoused but frequents downtown Boston.

He was wanted in a rape that took place about 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 4 at Tufts Medical Center Station, police said.

Authorities did not provide further information.

It wasn't immediately clear if Coffey had an attorney who could speak to his arrest.
