Teen Boy Arrested In Assault At Manchester 7-Eleven

MANCHESTER, NH — A 14-year-old boy has been arrested and is facing charges following an assault at a Manchester 7-Eleven store Wednesday night, according to local police.

The attack was reported at 9:15 p.m. near Beech and Valley Streets, where police said they found a boy on the ground with a group of other boys "gathered around him, assaulting him."

The boys fled the scene after officers activated their emergency lights, but an officer was able to catch up with a 14-year-old suspect and take him into custody.

The 17-year-old victim initially ran as well, but came back when an officer called to him, police said. He was taken to the hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening.

"Soon after this incident, the detail officer at the hospital reported that another 17-year-
old male had walked in with stab wounds," police added. "It was later determined that his injuries were also sustained during an altercation in the 7-Eleven parking lot."
