Three teens are facing charges after they allegedly assaulted a person in the Downtown Crossing area of Boston Monday night.
Boston police said they were called to the area of 375 Washington St. in Downtown Crossing at 8:17 p.m. Monday with a report of an assault in progress. When they arrived, they found the victim being treated by Boston EMS for multiple bruises and lacerations.
The victim was treated at the scene and declined further medical attention.
Police said the victim had been randomly attacked by a group of teenagers. A short time later, officers saw someone matching the description of one of the suspects riding toward them on a blue bicycle. When the police tried to stop him, he got off his bike and pushed it towards the officers, fleeing on foot. The police were eventually able to catch up with the suspect and arrested him.
Other officers were able to arrest two other teens involved in the assault without incident.
The teens, two under the age of 14 and one under the age of 15, were charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot). They were expected to be arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court.
