Boston police said they received a call Saturday for a report of vandalism in progress at the Boston Harbor Hotel on Rowes Wharf. A man had reportedly shot flares onto a dock on the harbor side of the hotel, damaging the dock and several nearby boats.
A 35-year-old South Boston man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly shot flares onto a dock at the Boston Harbor Hotel on Rowes Wharf and then stabbed a police officer who was trying to apprehend him with a potentially contaminated hypodermic needle.
When they arrived, police said they saw the suspect, whose name was not released, standing on top of a cargo container, lighting flares while yelling threatening statements. When he saw the officers approaching, they said he became"increasingly agitated," and began throwing things at them, including several uncapped hypodermic needles.
"After the man was placed in handcuffs, one of the officers felt a sharp pain which appeared to be from one of the uncapped hypodermic needles thrown by the subject," police said in a statement.
