Here is the police report filed by the officer that worked the incident.
The victim stated he had several interactions with the suspect who had been antagonizing the victim as well as other individuals in the area throughout the day. The victim stated when he asked the suspect to leave him alone, the suspect responded by taking out a pair of scissors and in a threatening manner, the suspect held the scissors above his head in a closed grip. The suspect then began stabbing the passenger’s side window of the victim’s van multiple times, causing scratches to the glass window. As the victim attempted to close the door to the van, the suspect stabbed him on the left forearm causing a severe laceration. The victim was eventually able to close the door, preventing additional harm. The suspect then fled down Boylston Street towards the Prudential Center where he was later apprehended by additional responding officers. The victim, suffering non-life-threatening injuries, was transported by Boston EMS to a local hospital.
After a positive identification, the suspect, Cirilo Aldana-Peraedes, 44 of Boston, was placed under arrest and charged with Assault and Battery by Means of a Dangerous Weapon.
