Police are looking for the suspects.
Everyday objects — including french fries, coffee, and a shopping cart — have been involved in several alleged assaults in Roxbury this month, officials say.
Shopping cart
The first incident, an alleged assault and battery with a dangerous weapon involving a shopping cart, occurred on Sept. 21, according to the Boston Police Department. That afternoon, police responded to 205 Humboldt Ave.
Police are looking for the suspect, who is described as a man wearing a blue Polo hooded sweatshirt.
Coffee
On Sept. 22 at 11:36 a.m., a suspect was allegedly involved in shoplifting as well as an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon: coffee, police said.
The assault allegedly occurred in the area of 300 MLK Boulevard, according to police.
Authorities are asking for the public’s help identifying the individual, who police said is “a Black female, wearing a pink sweatshirt, black pants, black Crocs and a tan bag.”
French fries
A day later, police searched for a man who allegedly committed an aggravated assault by throwing french fries at an individual inside a McDonald’s restaurant in Roxbury, police said.
