Wild bikers plow through police
Tyrone G. Searcy, 27, of 14 Tampa St., Mattapan, and John T. Roderique, 18, of 9A Shafter St., Dorchester, were arrested Sept. 15 on Brighton Avenue and Fordham Road on charges of assault with intent to murder, according to a report.
At 9:15 p.m., police said they stopped two motorcycles that were driving erratically through a group of officers and crowded streets, one almost striking an officer.
During interrogation, Rodrique allegedly turned his bike around and tried to flee, striking several officers in the process. One officer was injured and taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital, according to the report.
A pursuit reportedly took place through the streets of Brighton, as police gave chase. After five minutes, the suspect was thrown off his bike, when it got in the way of a metal chain blocking a driveway to a parking lot opposite 187 Naples Road, police said.
The suspect allegedly fled on foot and was later nabbed by Boston University police and arrested by District 14 officers. During a search, police said they found a screwdriver, an electrical device and a motorcycle inspection sticker on him. A record search indicated that both motorbikes were reported stolen. Searcy allegedly became combative during the arrest. Both suspects will be arraigned at Brighton District Court.
