West Roxbury Assault Suspect Surrenders To Police
BOSTON (WBZ) ―
Boston Police have arrested the man wanted for allegedly assaulting a woman in her West Roxbury home after hanging out at a nightclub together Friday night.
The victim told police that Josia Richardson, 33, of Newton punched and kicked her.
SUSPECT AT LARGE
When police arrived at the scene, Richardson had already left.
The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
Shortly after the incident, police in Dedham received a call from a relative of Richardson who said the 33-year-old was acting strange and was talking about hurting himself. The relative added that Richardson said he was not afraid if the police attempted to harm or hurt him.
RICHARDSON'S ALLEGED THREATS
Richardson, who police say is wanted for other crimes, allegedly threatened the hospital where the victim was being treated. That prompted police to put the hospital in lockdown and move the victim to a different location.
THE ARREST
According to police, Richardson surrendered at the Reflecting Pool at the Christian Science Center in Boston Sunday morning. Police said he was taken into custody without incident.
Richardson is charged with assault and battery. He will be arraigned on Monday in West Roxbury District Court.
