Overview
- State Police say troopers located a vehicle reported as a suspected hostage-by-firearm, chased it on I-93 after it failed to stop, and the driver struck eight other vehicles before stopping near Exit 11 and trying to flee on foot.
- Troopers took the suspect into custody at the scene, recovered a firearm from the vehicle, and officers reported the driver was described as "a very dangerous person."
- Police administered medical care to the pregnant woman who was in the vehicle but have not publicly disclosed her condition or whether she is related to the suspect.
- A later report identified the suspect as Dominic Hampton-Boyd, 31, of Roxbury, and officials said he is expected to be arraigned in Quincy District Court on multiple charges.
- The heavy police response caused major northbound delays on I-93 and the episode is under active investigation by prosecutors as part of a string of recent dangerous incidents on the highway.
