Boston Man Charged After Three Children Stabbed

Three children were stabbed in Boston’s Hyde Park neighborhood Saturday afternoon, police say.

The stabbing took place in the River Street area. Rock Aurelien, 51, of Boston, was arrested in connection to the incident.

Police say a 9-year-old, 12-year-old and 15-year-old were stabbed. The victims included two boys and a girl. The injuries sustained by the victims were said to be non-life threatening.

Two of the children were caught on surveillance video entering River Food Market. According to the store’s manager, the two boys were bloodied and seeking assistance.

“Please save my life, I don’t want to die, please save my life,” one of the boys said upon entering the store, manager Musavi Ferdin told NECN.

According to neighbors, the children were stabbed at the River Street apartments. They described the scene as a mess of blood.

While the children traveled towards the market Lizanna Guzman caught a glimpse of them from her porch. “There were just stab wounds everywhere,” Guzman said of the children.

Guzman called 911, but the children took off, saying “he’s coming to kill me.” Guzman added.

Officials will continue to investigate the incident. Aurelien is police custody and has been charged three counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
