BOSTON — Boston Police say a 25-year-old man has died after he was stabbed near Roxbury's Dudley Station Wednesday afternoon.

The man, who has not yet been identified by police, was stabbed after an apparent altercation on an MBTA bus.

“Words were exchanged on a bus, but the incident occurred after the parties had left the bus,” T spokesman Joe Pesaturo told The Boston Globe.

The victim was taken to Boston Medical Center, where he later died of his injuries.

No arrests have been made.
