Four teens are accused of seriously injuring a man while throwing bricks at 19 moving cars in Worcester Saturday.
Officers responded to Plantation Street around 3:50 p.m. Saturday for a report of an assault with a brick.
Police found a 37-year-old man who was severely injured when he was driving eastbound on Plantation Street.
“As he passed a red SUV, someone threw a brick at his vehicle,” police said. “It went through the windshield, struck the victim in the face, and caused very serious, permanent injuries.”
The man was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Police learned the SUV had been stolen. As officers searched for the vehicle, police began receiving several other calls about a red SUV driving around while people inside tossed bricks at passing cars.
“An officer spotted the red SUV near Harrington Way, and began to follow it,” police said. “The suspect vehicle sped up and the officer pursued the vehicle to the area of Ashwood Street, where the vehicle stopped. Two male occupants of the vehicle fled on foot, and two female occupants of the vehicle stayed in the car.”
Officers chased the two males and took them into custody in the Houghton Street area. One male is 15 while the other is 16 years old. The two females are also 15 and 16.
“A total of nineteen vehicles were struck by bricks and damaged,” police said.
The teens are facing several charges including: aggravated assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, five counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, mayhem, conspiracy, 19 counts of malicious damage to a motor vehicle and resisting arrest.
The 16-year-old male was also charged with carrying a dangerous weapon and carrying a dangerous weapon when arrested after police said he was caught with brass knuckles.
