Two men were released on bail after a "large-scale vehicle takeover" ended with a police cruiser being torched early Sunday morning in Boston.
More than 100 people participated in the takeover that involved street racing just after 2 a.m. on Sunday, the Boston Police Department told CBS News. When officers arrived, they found more than 100 people attacking police cruisers with cones, fireworks, poles and other items.
Cars were also blocking the intersection, preventing traffic from flowing through the area. The police cruiser was destroyed by the flames and towed away from the area, according to the report.
Simran Nalhatra, who witnessed the street takeover, told 25News "it was like a riot."
"We saw someone get arrested, and we looked to our right, and there was this cop car on fire," Nalhatra recalled. "It was really scary. I was like, I don’t know why it was so loud, and everyone’s screaming, and it went on for an hour or two."
