I was on a bike,” he told the station. “Got me once right here and here; hit my bike a few times.”A 15-year-old sustained welts on his back and bruises on his arm after a white car approached him while he was walking on Boston Street, according to WHDH.Iris Aina, a friend of the family, shared photos of the boy’s injuries on Facebook. “I’ve had 4 different people inbox me that they were also victims or witnesses to this same attack last night from a white car,” she wrote on Tuesday.
