Transit police detectives are asking for the public's help identifying a man in connection to an assault at an MBTA station in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood earlier this month.

Arriving EMS and officers found a man with apparent trauma to his face and chest. He was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
