At about 6:19 PM on Friday, October 7, 2022 Officers assigned to District D-4 arrested multiple individuals in the area of 709 Columbus Ave., Boston.

Officers were on directed patrol in the area of Carter Playground for a football game. While on scene, officers' attention was drawn to a large group of juveniles forming on a nearby tennis court. As Officers approached, they observed a fight, with multiple juveniles watching. As the juveniles began to disperse, they observed a male, later identified as the 16-year-old juvenile male, laying on the ground. The juvenile refused to cooperate with officers, and eventually fled from officers on foot, and officers lost sight of him in the large crowd that had become increasingly unruly and hostile towards officers. Officers on scene requested additional units to the scene, eventually requesting all available units from the city to respond in an attempt to help control the crowd.

Officers made multiple arrests as a result of this incident.
