A 13-year-old girl allegedly stabbed a Boston police officer after he recognized her as a missing person and tried to bring her in.
The girl, who has not been named because she is a minor, was walking on Blue Hill Avenue in Mattapan at approximately 5:12 p.m. on Wednesday when she was spotted by Sergeant Detective John Boyle.
Boyle told the Boston Globe that when the girl saw the officers approaching her, she turned on her heel and walked away.
