BOSTON – Two Boston police officers ended up in the hospital after they were attacked by a group of teenagers, police said.
The officers, a man and a woman, went to an apartment building on Wayne Street in Roxbury Monday morning to serve a warrant on 19-year-old Woobenson Morisset for defaulting on court appearances.
Police Commissioner William Evans told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 when they were about to put handcuffs on Morisset, he yelled out and some nearby apartments emptied out.
Six teens attacked the officers, according to Evans, kicking them and punching them.
The officers did not draw their guns, but they did use pepper spray to fight the teens off until other officers arrived.
The teenagers, which included four girls, ranged in age from 13 to 18 years old. More Strange News
