Police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down suspects involved in the assault of a woman during the 2016 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in South Boston, cops said Thursday.
The victim said she was assaulted by a group of teenage boys as she walked with her friends through a park near D and Gold streets, police said. The victim “unknowingly became involved in an ongoing argument,” police said, and was attacked by the boys between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. She suffered non-life threatening injuries, and didn’t report the attack until weeks later — on April 9.
