At about 7:00 PM, on Monday, July 31, 2023, officers assigned to District C-6 (South Boston), made an onsite arrest of six juvenile males from Boston after receiving several 911 calls regarding a group of juveniles loitering and causing disruption to businesses.
Officers were patrolling South Bay Mall and the area of 24 District Avenue when they observed the same group of juveniles they had removed earlier in the day. As officers attempted to remove the group, several of the juveniles began throwing rocks and physically assaulting officers. While placing one of the juveniles in handcuffs, another suspect could be seen kicking a police radio across the ground and then discarding it.
