DA: Eight teens stomp woman on Silver Line bus near Nubian Square; one is charged so far for repeatedly punching, kicking her

A routine ride on the Silver Line to Nubian Square turned into a terror trip for one woman, who was punched and kicked to the floor, where she huddled into the fetal position, by a group of eight teenagers who set on her for no particular reason, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office says.

One of the eight, a 16-year-old from Revere, has been arrested for the attack, shortly after 11 p.m. on a Silver Line bus heading down Washington Street, the DA's office says, adding the hunt for the other seven continues.

That teen was already out on bail on an unrelated assault case, but Boston Juvenile Court Peter Coyne revoked that bail for two months at her arraignment on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot) and unarmed robbery, the DA's office says.

According to the DA's office:

At about 11:13 p.m. on July 2, the victim, a 35-year-old woman, was observed on video entering a Nubian Square-bound Silver Line car and standing near the back door. Minutes later, a juvenile male is seen walking toward the victim and throwing what appear to be potato chips at her head. The victim is seen turning around to see who threw the chips, and then turned back in an apparent attempt to ignore the juveniles.

Another juvenile is then seen squeezing a bottle of lotion onto the victim’s hair, face and body. The victim moves toward the juvenile in an apparent attempt to prevent him from squirting more lotion. At that point, another juvenile pushes the victim down to the floor, and the other juveniles, girls and boys, join the attack, punching and kicking the victim as she lies in a self-protective position on the floor.

The Revere juvenile is seen on video striking the victim in the head with a closed fist about seven times. She is also seen kicking the victim in the head and face about three times.

During the attack, some of the juveniles are seen opening and rummaging through the victim’s handbag. One of the juveniles is seen taking the victim’s phone and placing it in his pocket.

All of the juveniles exited the bus after it arrived at Nubian Station. The victim sustained a bloody nose and other facial bruising but did not require hospitalization.

The DA's office says Transit Police have tracked the group back to the AMC South Bay Center move complex where "theater personnel that evening had reported a large group of juveniles causing several disturbances."
