BOSTON. MA: Two Rhode Island men were cuffed early BOSTON. MA: Two Rhode Island men were cuffed early Sunday after a mob torched a Boston police cruiser during a late-night “vehicle takeover” that turned violent in the South End, cops said.

The mayhem erupted around 2:12 a.m. at Massachusetts Avenue and Tremont Street, where more than 100 people had blocked traffic and were hurling fireworks, cones, and poles at police cruisers.

One cruiser went up in flames after being struck by fireworks, filling the street with smoke as some in the crowd climbed on the hood, according to police. Officers from across the city rushed to the scene to control the chaos, while Boston firefighters extinguished the blaze.

By the time the smoke cleared, the cruiser was destroyed and two suspects were in cuffs — both from Rhode Island.

Julian Bowers, 18, of Cumberland, was busted after allegedly pelting officers and a cruiser with objects, sparking a brief foot chase. He faces charges including malicious destruction of property over $1,200, assault and battery on a police officer, and resisting arrest.

William Cantwell, 19, of Warwick, was nabbed after cops say he repeatedly smashed a cruiser with an orange pole. During his arrest, police said they found two packages of marijuana edibles in his bag. He’s charged with assaulting a police officer, malicious destruction, resisting arrest, and possession of marijuana.

Both men are set to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.

Crime Scene Response and Fire Investigation units were called in to document the fiery aftermath.

PROVIDENCE, RI: A woman was rushed to the hospital PROVIDENCE, RI: A woman was rushed to the hospital Saturday evening after an outdoor propane heater ruptured and caught fire outside Track 15, a popular restaurant and food hall at 1 Union Station in downtown Providence.

Fire officials said crews were called to the scene just after 5 p.m. for reports of a propane tank fire. The blaze was extinguished before firefighters arrived, officials said.

The woman, who was near the heater when it malfunctioned, suffered burns and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Providence police.

The heater appeared to rupture or explode, briefly igniting a small fire that drew a large emergency response. The area around Union Station was temporarily cleared as a precaution, but the situation was under control within minutes.

Track 15 confirmed the incident in a statement, saying the woman was “in the immediate vicinity” when the heater ruptured.

“Our staff acted swiftly, and emergency personnel were called to the scene,” Track 15 said. “We are working closely with fire inspectors as they conduct their investigation. The safety of our guests and staff is our top priority, and we are grateful for the quick actions of our team and the Providence Fire Department, Police Department, and EMTs.”

Track 15 remains open and is continuing business as usual while the investigation continues.
