BOSTON (CBS) --- The Suffolk County District Attorney said as of midday Thursday, 10 arrest reports had been processed from the aftermath of the Red Sox World Series win.

Many of those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct.

In addition, a Watertown man was charged with running down a couple in Allston and leaving the scene.

Both victims were taken to the hospital where their condition is unknown.
