Police: Dudes running down the street late at night often up to no good

Boston Police report arresting a local guy and a Tewksbury resident on robbery and assault and battery charges shortly after 11 p.m. yesterday in Chinatown.

Police responding to a report of a robbery at LaGrange and Tamworth say their attention was drawn to "the hurried manner" in which two guys were running on Washington Street toward Hayward Street. The victim then identified them and his cellphone was found on one of them, police say.

Meanwhile, police report arresting a pair of Brighton lads on charges of general dumbassery in connection to their alleged desire to smash overhead lights on the Cambridge Street footbridge over the turnpike in Allston around 2:25 this morning.
