PROBLEM. IT’S BEEN HAPPENING FOR SO LONG THAT WE’RE FRUSTRATIONS. PENNY GADD OWNS LAMBERT’S MARKETPLACE, WHICH IS LOCATED ALONG THE COMMON. HE SAYS CRIME ON THE CORNER OF PARK AND TREMONT IS OUT OF CONTROL. IF THEY DO THAT. WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP, FOR SAFETY, NOT JUST FOR US HERE, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO COME IN AS VISITORS, FOR THE IMAGES OF THE CITY, JUST A FEW STEPS AWAY FROM HIS STORE, AN OUTBREAK OF VIOLENCE. FOUR PEOPLE WERE INJURED, TWO OF THEM STABBED. THE INJURIES ARE NOT LIFE-THREATENING. The incident there was the result of road rage. Some people tried to intervene and the situation escalated, leading to a possible stabbing. This was the second act of violence this week in this area. On Monday evening, a man was shot near Brewer Fountain. The suspected shooter is now in custody. This corner of the Common is popular with tourists starting the Freedom Trail. Arguments, violence and assaults occur. Councilman Ed Flynn has organized a meeting with residents and business owners this afternoon. A stronger police presence and enforcement is needed to prevent criminal activity. RESIDENTS HAVE OPPOSED THIS CALL, BUT ALSO HOPE THE CITY WILL ADD MORE POSITIVE ACTIVITIES TO THE AREA. LIKE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE GENERAL AREA. I THINK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE RESIDENTS, WHAT WE HAVE HEARD, YOU KNOW, FROM OUR, UH, OUR PEOPLE HERE IN DOWNTOWN IS THAT WE NEED MORE ACTIVITY SEEN ON THE EDGES OF THE GENERAL. AS FOR THE INCIDENT LAST NIGHT, THERE WERE NO ARRESTS MADE. COMMISSIONER COX ASKS FOR ANYONE WHO

A group of people trying to intervene in an apparent road rage incident were stabbed and beaten on the Boston Common late Thursday night, police said. The victims said they were walking across Park Street near Tremont Street just before midnight when they saw two groups of people involved in a road rage incident and intervened. The two groups attacked the victims as they tried to stop the incident, police said. Two people suffered stab wounds, one victim suffered a broken wrist and the fourth victim was punched in the face, police said. No arrests have been made. Hani Gad, owner of Lambert’s Marketplace near the Common, said crime at the corner of Park and Tremont is out of control. “We need to clean up for safety reasons, not just for us here but for the people who come as visitors,” Gad said. Earlier this week, a man was shot and killed on the Boston Common. Dana Loder, 30, of Lynnfield, was charged in connection with the shooting.
