Randolph Police are investigating what’s being described as a “Vehicle Takeover Incident.”
The incident took place around 1:30 a.m. Sunday when officers responded to the incident at the intersection of Oak St. and North Main St. where police say they encountered a crowd of more than 100 individuals who immediately began to target responding officers in their fully marked police cruisers.
The individuals then began to allegedly strike the cruisers with their fists and other objects, sit on the hoods of the cruisers as officers were attempting to drive, and lean against the bumpers as cruisers were attempting to navigate the area.
Police say the individuals involved wore masks and were videotaping themselves.
At one point fireworks were lit while on the hood of at least one cruiser.
Police say officers worked to clear the intersection as quickly and safely as possible, as to not delay a fire department and/or ambulance response from the North Randolph Fire Station.
The incident remains under investigation and anyone with information is being asked to call Randolph Police at (781)-963-1212 or by our anonymous tip system by texting 847411.
