Boston Police report arresting an East Boston man for knocking a woman down and stealing her purse last night.
William T. Gore, 24, was charged with unarmed robbery and assault and battery resulting in injuries for the incident after 11 p.m. at Orleans and Sumner streets:
On arrival, officers spoke to the victim who reported that she was just assaulted and her purse stolen. The victim went on to tell officers that she was at the intersection of Orleans St. and Sumner St. when she was approached from behind, assaulted, knocked to the ground, and her bag was then stolen by the [suspect] who fled in the direction of the Maverick Square MBTA station.
Police say they found Gore off Sumner Street a few blocks away.

Innocent, etc.
Wayland Street is in Dorchester

This is why it's good I'm not mayor
Because I'd order the police to align their districts with neighborhood borders and that would probably be a phenomenal waste of money, but at least I wouldn't make mistakes like this anymore :-).
Pfft
Police also can respond across district lines if they're nearby or another one is slammed, of course.
(I'm assuming you, the guru of all that is information and the internet, are aware that you can googlemap an address and look at the ZIP code, or look it up on the city assessing website, or do a USPS lookup, or or or...)

How is this different from the Somerville assault?
Now, why do the Boston police arrest this guy for assault, but the Somerville police don't arrest the punk near Davis Sq? OK, her purse was stolen, but there's no difference.
