BOSTON — A Hyde Park man was arrested Saturday afternoon on firearm-related charges after allegedly threatening someone with a gun in Dorchester, police said.
Caprice Brison, 31, was taken into custody around 4:26 p.m. near Ashmont Train Station following a brief foot chase, according to Boston Police Department officials.
Police responded to a call at 1975 Dorchester Ave. where a victim reported being threatened by a male suspect with a firearm.
The suspect fled on foot with another male, triggering a search by Officers from District C-11.
