A new arrest of juveniles for what prosecutors are calling an “unprovoked” attack on a stranger in Downtown Crossing recalls a series of similar attacks in the area last spring.

Two Boston male teens, one 14 and the other 15, face charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, shod foot, following a Monday evening incident on Washington Street where the male victim said he was randomly set upon by a group of teens.

The 14-year-old boy also faces charges of assault and battery and assault and battery on a police officer. A third teen may be charged, the Suffolk District Attorney’s office says, following a review of evidence.

“We’ve seen several unprovoked attacks from juveniles in Downtown Crossing over the last few weeks. These violent attacks are instilling fear in business owners and residents,” DA Kevin Hayden said in a statement following the juveniles’ arraignments.

“Although this victim did not require further medical treatment, the trauma he experienced is always a concern,” he added. “I commend the witnesses who stepped up to help police identify as many assailants as possible so they can be held accountable.”

Police responded at around 8:15 p.m. Monday to the 300-block of Washington Street for a call of an assault and battery in progress, according to the DA’s office. When officers arrived, a man was being treated by Boston EMS for bruising to his left eye and cuts to his eyelids and left hand.

He told police that he was walking down the street while talking on his cell phone when he made eye contact with one of the teens.

“Why are you (expletive) staring at me,” the teen allegedly asked.

The victim took off running, he told police, but he tripped and a group started punching him and even kicked him in the back. While telling the story, the victim said one of the teens was standing behind the police cruiser, which made the boy take off on a city Blue Bike. During the pursuit, prosecutors say, the boy pushed his bike at an officer, causing minor damage.

The Herald reported last summer on a string of teenage violence in the area that included reports of random assaults, kids frightening shoppers just to “mess with people” and even impromptu street fireworks.
