BOSTON (AP) — Two Boston police officers were hospitalized after they were allegedly attacked by seven teenagers, all family members, in a Roxbury apartment complex when the officers tried to arrest one of them, authorities said Tuesday.

Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said the officers, a woman and a man, were "badly roughed up" in Monday's attack but were recovering. Both have since been released from the hospital. Their names have not been made public.

Evans said he expects the two officers will be off work for some time.

Mayor Martin Walsh said he does not believe the assault has anything to do with rising national tensions over police conduct following the killings of unarmed men in Missouri and New York City.

The police commissioner agreed but added: "It's troubling to me that all this animosity is geared toward our department because we work our hardest every day to make sure the streets of Boston are as safe as possible."

Evans said the officers were attacked when they went to the apartment Monday morning and tried to arrest 19-year-old Woobenson Morisset on violating the terms of his release in three pending cases. One case included a charge of assault and battery of a police officer. The Suffolk County prosecutor said Morisset is accused of punching an officer in December 2013 who was trying to arrest him for an attempted home break-in.

Evans said Morisset, his 18-year-old brother Lorcen Morisset, and five others were arrested Monday.

According to a police report, Morisset engaged in a "violent fight" with officers before his family members got involved. The officers were "kicked, punched and choked by numerous suspects."

Evans said the officers used pepper spray to fight off their attackers until other officers arrived, but they never drew their guns.

Good.


50 neighbors should have descended and left all the officers bloody and broken in the street for what they did. There needs to be a "hue and cry" explicitly for thug abuse.
