The president of a union that represents Boston coppers said that people who took part in a recent street takeover in the city were "hell-bent" on attacking law enforcement officials.
According to the Boston Police Department, over 100 people were involved in the takeover that involved street racing just after 2 a.m. on October 5. Officers found more than 100 people trying to attack police cruisers with fireworks, cones, poles and other items.
One police cruiser was destroyed by flames and needed to be towed away from the area, officials said.
Boston Police Patrolmen's Association President Larry Calderone told Fox News Digital that those participating in the street takeover were focused on attacking officers.

"They knew what they were going to do and they were hell-bent on attacking coppers. But that is not an everyday occurrence," Calderone said.
Calderone said that the individuals took the street takeover to four different areas before ending in the city's South End area.
"What happened last weekend got out of control, it went through four different communities, ended up here at a couple of locations in Boston. And each location that they went to in this past incident, it appears as though they got more aggressive," he said. "And when they ended up in the downtown South End section of Boston, that pretty much in our opinion looked premeditated."
