The driver of a stolen Amtrak truck hit a woman and several cars in the Seaport District then ran off, police said.
BOSTON — The Boston Police Department just released a photo in an effort to get the public's help in identifying a man they believe was involved in the hit-and-run last week in the Seaport District that injured one woman and damaged several parked cars.
About 11:45 a.m. on Friday, March 29, someone reported a truck had hit several cars in the area of Northern Avenue and Fan Pier Boulevard in South Boston.
When police got there, they saw a man driving an Amtrak truck driving erratically and, after running into multiple cars in the area, officers saw a man, described as Hispanic jump out of the truck and run off. The man managed to evade officers and went into a construction site.
