A curious spectacle unfolded in Charlestown last night as officials reported a man, who was subsequently hospitalized, found in an alarming state, and a vehicle mysteriously submerged offshore. The Boston Police were called to the scene at around 7:30 p.m., following reports of a man scantily clad in underwear and causing a commotion near the train tracks along Medford and Polk streets. On locating the individual, police swiftly arranged for his conveyance to the hospital for a medical evaluation, while the circumstances prompting this series of events remain shrouded in mystery, as reported by WHDH.
Further investigation led officers to a startling discovery — a vehicle partially submerged in the waters off the Little Mystic Boat Ramp on Terminal Street, as per WHDH. The connection between the man and the vehicle remains unconfirmed, as police have been unable to verify a link, Boston Police spokesperson Officer Michael Torigian told The Boston Globe.
The Boston Fire Department's dive team searched the submerged vehicle but found no additional victims. Fortunately, the incident did not result in any injuries, as officials reported no harm at the end of their investigation. By 8:30 p.m., the area around Medford and Polk streets near the Terminal Street waterside was cleared.
