Police Search For Victim In Esplanade Assault, Robbery

BOSTON (CBS) -- State Police are looking for the victim of an attack on the Esplanade from Tuesday night.

Witnesses called police when they saw four people assaulting a man and stealing his bike on the bike path around 8:30 p.m.

By the time police arrived, the victim had already left.

Two 15-year-old males have been arrested in connection with the incident. Police say they have strong leads on the other two suspects. It is possible that all four suspects are juveniles.
