There’s nothing like kicking off summer with a good old-fashioned beach brawl. Large crowds swelled and got out of hand at Carson Beach in South Boston on Thursday night.
Around 9 pm, MA State Police, BPD, and Boston EMS responded to a call for multiple fights breaking out. A call went out for more help to regain control of the crowd. Some beachgoers even began to attack State Troopers. The beach was eventually shut down, and at least seven people were arrested.
Carson Beach has been the backdrop for summer trouble in the past.
Hopefully, this is not a prequel to what is yet to come. Remember this summer? Just recently, Mayor Michelle Wu announced a summer safety plan, which you can read here.
