The troopers attempted to arrest the men, and over a dozen individuals gathered to restrain them on the ground, punching and kicking them in an attempt to prevent further arrests. When Boston officers arrived at the location, the joint team was successful in arresting two juveniles and one adult. One juvenile and the adult were taken into Boston Police custody and the other juvenile was taken into State Police custody.
