Boston Police report three men walking in the area of the Tynan School were attacked and beaten by a group of eight to ten white teens, many in white tank tops, at Emerson and K streets around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Police say the attack happened when the three victims, realizing they were being followed, crossed the street in what turned out to be a vain attempt to get away from the teens. The teens began beating the men and stopped only when a bystander came upon the scene and started screaming, police said.

The three declined medical attention at the scene, but two later checked themselves into a local hospital for medical attention. Capt. John Greland has posted a photo of a victim's eye after the attack and says anybody with information should contact C-6 detectives at 617-343-4742.
