On Wednesday, April 24, officers from the Boston Police Department arrested Paul Joseph, 18, of Dorchester at 12:25 PM.
The arrest was made in connection to assault and battery charges following an incident at 9 Peacevale Road.

After detaining the suspect, officers discovered a knife on the premises within the library.
The injured victim was then promptly taken to a nearby medical facility, his injuries fortunately deemed not life-threatening. Joseph was taken into police custody and subsequently charged with assault and battery using a dangerous weapon, specifically a knife.
The suspect is set to face arraignment at Dorchester District Court.
His name was not released.
