Officers were advised that the victim was attempting to make a pickup for Uber Eats when one of his friends advised him that four individuals were stealing his moped. The victims confronted the group, and one of the individuals pulled out a knife and a pink taser. One of the suspects fled the scene on the moped, on Boylston in the wrong direction.
The victims fled towards Copley Train Station and were followed by the remaining three suspects. One of the suspects again pulled out the taser and pointed at one of the victims. The suspects fled the area and were seen getting on an MBTA bus outside of the Copley Library.
