Six teenage boys were arrested in South Boston around 7 p.m. on Monday, July 31, after they assaulted several police officers, according to the Boston Police Department.
Police received several 911 calls about a group of boys loitering and disrupting businesses around South Bay Mall and 24 District Avenue earlier that day. They removed the teens.
Officers saw the same group of teenagers in the area later that day and attempted to remove them again, but the boys began throwing rocks and attacking them, authorities said.
