BOSTON — Several teens were arrested after an encounter with Boston Police officers outside a South Bay business Monday night, where the teens allegedly threw rocks and shattered the windows of cruisers.
Officers responding to J.P Licks on District Avenue at South Bay Mall around 7 p.m. for a reported disturbance found a group of teenagers they had removed from the business earlier in the day, according to Boston Police.
As authorities again tried to remove the group, several of the teens allegedly began throwing rocks and attacking officers. Officials say the rocks shattered the windows of multiple police cruisers and one suspect even kicked a police radio across the ground and discarded it while one of his accomplices was being put in handcuffs.
