Around noon, Boston Police swarmed the area of Comm. Ave. and Harvard Avenue, where a guy was allegedly threatening people with a taser outside the McDonald's. They quickly found the suspect and the taser and now he's undergoing booking.

Most likely they mean a stun gun, which doesn't shoot electrodes, the person holding it has to physically touch someones body to shock them.

Still illegal in MA, and still illegal to threaten people with one everywhere.

With a new toy?

Saw an empty "Viper" stun gun/taser box on the ground on Walbridge 2-3 hours ago. Might be related.
