Boston Police report arresting a 17-year-old they say was the leader of a pack that tried to steal another guy's moped in the area of Lee's II Market at Commonwealth Avenue and Allston Street around 11:10 p.m. on Sunday.
Police report the victim did not willingly give up his moped, not even after the teen showed a knife. In fact, police say, the victim grappled with the would-be moped thief and first got the knife away, then took him to the ground and kept him there even as the guy tried to use his insufficient fists of fury to punch his way out of the hold. When officers arrived, at first on a report of a large fight:
Officers observed the victim holding down the suspect and he was immediately placed into handcuffs.
Before he was taken down to the D-14 station for booking, he required attention from EMS because he was bleeding from the face. The victim declined medical attention, police say.
The teen, too young to have his name released, was charged with being delinquent for armed assault with intent to rob, police say.

Pretty sure this is the guy who was kicked out for bizarre comments about supposed novel (and harmless) uses of ketchup that he believed transwomen were engaged in - completely off topic, of course.

Shitty reading comprehension too
There is nothing in the report about the age of the victim
Comprehend this
The guy that got beat up is the (alleged, of course) perp, who is identified as 17 in the first sentence of the story. I don’t share Mr rwgfy’s sympathy for the poor “child” who (allegedly) tried to steal the moped.
According to the story, the
According to the story, the guy who got beat up was not the victim and was not beat up “for a moped” but instead suffered injuries in the course of the victim defending himself against felony armed robbery and felony assault and battery.
Wait a second
You don't verify the age of everyone who pulls a knife on you before you defend yourself? You monster. /s
Thus always
