Violent confrontation: State Police trooper tased by city of Boston employee
In a dramatic struggle with a Massachusetts State Police trooper, a City of Boston graffiti remover allegedly tased the trooper, who had dove headfirst into the man’s car, before being arrested for possessing a handgun which had been converted into a machine gun, among other charges, court documents show.
The incident played out on Old Colony Avenue and Preble Street in South Boston July 30, and was recorded on Trooper Matthew Hickey’s body-worn camera and the camera installed on his cruiser, according to court records.
The confrontation ended with the arrest of Nasiru T. Ibrahim, 25, of Norwood, on a total of 12 charges including illegal possession of a machinegun based on the alleged recovery of a Glock 9mm pistol outfitted with a switch, thereby turning the weapon into a fully automatic machine gun.
Ibrahim pleaded not guilty to an array of charges in South Boston Municipal Court July 31.
