Three Juveniles Arraigned in June South Station Attack, Fourth to be Arraigned Next Month

BOSTON, July 12, 2022 — Three of the four juveniles charged with the brutal assault of a 20-year-old musician outside South Station last month were arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court today and released to their parents with conditions, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden announced.

The three juveniles, a 15-year-old from Allston, a 16-year-old from Allston and a 16-year-old from South Boston, were released on conditions that they stay away from the victim, stay away from South Station and observe a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew. They will return to court August 30.

The fourth juvenile, a 16-year-old from South Boston, will be arraigned on August 2.

All four are charged with assault and battery and larceny under $1,200. The juveniles leapt from a vehicle outside South Station shortly before midnight on June 23 and attacked the victim, who was visiting Boston with his girlfriend.  The victim, who attended the arraignment today with his family, had to be hospitalized after the assault. 

A witness driving by the incident recorded video of the attack and the SUV in which the attackers fled.

“This was a vicious, unprovoked attack on a young man who was doing nothing more than enjoying a pleasant summer evening in Boston with his girlfriend. Instead he ended up beaten and hospitalized after an outburst of teenage violence. I’m deeply grateful to the witness who provided evidence that helped police identify his attackers,” Hayden said.
