People file into a tent being used as an"engagement center" outside the public shelter at 112 Southampton Street in Boston in May 2020. in the area of the city known as"Mass. and Cass" will close for five days because of a series of recent violent incidents there. Atkinson Street will be closed to traffic through Monday.
Boston police said they had received reports of five stabbings near and inside the center since Sunday. One person has been charged with one of the stabbings. None of the injuries in the incidents are considered life-threatening. Police are increasing patrols in the area. After the city cleared a large tent encampment from the area in January, workers referred people to the center to help find housing and other services. On average, city officials said, about 300 people visit the center each day.
"I absolutely agree with the need to close [the Engagement Center]," Sullivan said."There has to be a concerted effort to stop the open drug use and dealing there. My hope is that some of the elements causing the violence will dissipate and the city and the police can closely look at who returns."
