Two Boston police officers go to a guys apartment to escort him to the courts because he had been unable on his own to get to the court for his appointment. as the officers were extending their invitation to the fellow some of his kids, ages 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18 interrupted the process by hitting, kicking & choking the officers.
I'm not sure if there were other kids in the house but were edged out of the event by the bigger kids, or if the guys partner determined the cause of the children.

Seven teenagers from the same extended family are due in two Boston courtrooms Tuesday to face charges that they assaulted two Boston police officers who were trying to arrest a 19-year-old man on outstanding warrants, authorities said.
Two Boston officers were briefly hospitalized following the incident at a Wayne Street address in Roxbury on Monday, officials said. The officers were treated for exposure to pepper spray they discharged during what police called a "very violent struggle'' inside a house, police said.
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said Tuesday that he visited both officers at the hosptial. One of the officers, a woman, was "badly roughed up" while the second, a man, had been fitted with a neck brace while waiting for results of an examination.
"They're pretty banged up. They're gonna be out of work for some time," Evans said. "It stresses the dangers of our job, every day going into situations that we never know what may happen. I'm just thankful they're fine."
According to police and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley's office, Woobenson Morisset, 19, and Lorcen Morisset, 18, are scheduled to be appear on Tuesday in Roxbury Municipal Court where they face charges of assault and battery on the two police officers.
A 17-year-old boy and four teenage girls - ages, 13, 14, 15, and 16 - are scheduled to appear in Boston Juvenile Court for their alleged role in the same incident. Most of those arrested share the same last name and are believed to be related to Woobenson Morisset, whom police were attempting to arrest on outstanding warrants.
In a report on the incident, Boston police wrote that they responded to 6 Wayne St. to arrest Woobenson based on warrants issued by the Dorchester Municipal Court. The officers found him in a rear stairwell in what city assessing records describe as an apartment building.
"A violent struggle ensued between the suspect and the officers. While officers were engaged in a violent altercation with Mr. Woobenson Morisset, numerous occupants (mostly the suspect's family members)'' entered the hallway and tried to pull Woobenson free, police said.
"During the altercation, officers were kicked, punched and choked by numerous suspects. While officers were still engaged in the fight with the suspect and being assaulted by numerous suspects, OC [pepper] spray was deployed in the rear stairwell,'' police wrote. "Numerous officers began to arrive on scene and the suspects were subdued and placed under arrest.''
Multiple police officers responded to the struggle and two of them were taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital for treatment for exposure to the chemical spray and then released, police said.
But Lorcen Morriset, speaking to reporters before he appeared in court, disputed the police account, insisting that he never made physical contact with any police officer and that the four girls hid inside their apartments to avoid the struggle taking place outside.
He identified the four girls as two of his sisters and two of whom are his cousins.
"That's a lie. They didn't touch the officers,'' he said of the girls. "They went to hide in the bathroom."
He said the incident began when police knocked on the family's door and asked for Woobenson. Lorcen Morriset said family members told police they did not know if Woobenson was home. Police said they encountered him on a rear stairwell.
At that point, according to Lorcen Morriset, his older brother asked police if they had a warrant.
"He said, `Do you have a warrant?' " Lorcen Morriset said. "He said, `What do you have a warrant for?' because he didn't have any trouble or anything."
Instead of showing proper paperwork, Lorcen Morriset alleged, police began to beat his brother. Lorcen said he ran to get his telephone to video record the incident. "I took a video cause they was beating him up, two officers,'' he alleged. "There is blood at the back of the house, everything."
Lorcen said the police grabbed Woobenson by the hair and hit his head against the wall.
He said that at some point during the incident, police seized his phone. "They took my phone," he said.
He insisted that no one in his extended family provoked police into acting against them, nor did they fight back. "That's a lie,'' he said. "We didn't touch them."
He said that when police grabbed his brother, he also grabbed on to him. "And I try to hold my brother, so they arrested me,'' Lorcen Morriset said. "That's the only thing I did. I didn't touch no police officer or anything."
