Thirteen people were arrested, and four police officers were injured during a pro-Palestinian rally in Boston Tuesday night. Boston police said there are reports of officers with broken bones.
According to Boston police, protesters who were on the Boston Common moved to the area of Tremont and Winter Streets at about 6:50 p.m. and then confronted officers.
“At that time, protesters turned on police kicking a marked cruiser, assaulting officers, blocking traffic and setting off devices causing red smoke in the air,” a Boston police spokesperson said.
