There was quite a scary “situation” taking place on Saturday evening around 7pm between a car and dirt bikes in the parking lot of the McDonald’s on Gallivan Blvd.
According to WHDH, BPD was called to the McDonalds after witnesses said they saw people on dirt bikes weaving in and out of traffic and throwing rocks at a car.
From the police report via the Boston Globe:
“A male and female were driving on Gallivan Boulevard toward Granite Avenue when they noticed a group of men and women on mopeds, weaving erratically through traffic. From the passenger seat, the woman rolled down her window to ask the moped riders to let their car pass. But rather than switching lanes, they responded with a hailstorm of rocks, according to the report.”
The man driving lost control of his Honda Civic and rear-ended the car in front of him. He then entered the McDonald’s parking lot, crashing into one of the riders and through a fence. This was captured on video and posted on Twitter.
The report goes on to state that the couple tried calling 911 but were dragged out of their car by the riders and attacked. When police arrived to the scene, the driver of the Honda could not speak coherently and was coughing up blood. The two victims were taken to Boston Medical Center with head injuries and cuts on their faces.
Police are looking for help in identifying anyone involved in this road rage incident.
