Hands Off
On Tuesday, Nov. 19, at about 2:03 a.m., police responded to a radio call for fight at 867 Boylston St.
On arrival, the officer spoke to a witness, who said an unknown male suspect had grabbed his girlfriend, and that he had to grab the suspect to get him off of his girlfriend.
The witness’ girlfriend told police that the suspect said something to her, but she ignored him. She then went to car and sat down while waiting for her boyfriend. When the suspect approached her car, she asked him to leave her alone.
The suspect ignored her request, however, and then grabbed her boyfriend by his clothing, pushed him back and slapped his face.
All parties were separated before police arrived.
The female victim said she wasn’t hurt and didn’t want to press charges.
