BOSTON — Boston Police and the SWAT team are searching for a suspect who led police on a foot pursuit following a crash near the Tobin Bridge on Tuesday.
Just before 12:30 p.m. police attempted to stop a man in the Charlestown Housing Development who they believed was wanted on warrants and had a suspended driver’s license.
