On Monday, April 8, at about 12:30 p.m., police responded to a radio call for reported threats at J.P. Licks at 173 Newbury St.

On arrival, the officer met with the victim, who said he was driving at a slow speed in an alley behind the aforementioned address between 10 and 10:30 a.m., when he observed the male suspect walking several dogs.

As he approached the suspect, the victim said he got out of the way to let him pass, at which time he accidentally splashed the suspect with water. The suspect then began allegedly yelling profanities at the victim and chased after his vehicle on foot.

The suspect eventually caught up with the victim’s vehicle and opened the driver’s door. The suspect continued to scream profanities at the victim and made a fist, which the victim said made him feel threatened.

After the victim told the suspect he would call the police, the victim was able to get away from the suspect and parked his car in the alley.

Several minutes later, the victim said the suspect returned to the scene wearing a different jacket and began taking photographs of the victim’s vehicle. The suspect eventually left, but the victim alleged that the suspect later called his place of business in an effort to get him in trouble at work.

Police searched the area for the suspect to no avail.

On Wednesday, April 10, an officer assigned to a detail at the House of Blues at 15 Lansdowne St. took a report for an assault and battery.

The security guard said the incident was captured on surveillance video, and that the venue could provide it to police.

The victim was escorted to Massachusetts General Hospital via ambulance before the officer had a chance to speak with her.

Upon frisking the suspect, police seized a gold container from his right–hand jacket pocket.
