BOSTON — Boston Police Department officers arrested a man in connection with an armed robbery in Roxbury on Saturday.
Shawn Marsh, 32, of Dorchester, was apprehended after allegedly robbing a victim at knifepoint earlier in the day.
According to police, the incident occurred around 11:49 a.m. when Marsh became aggressive and threatened the victim with a knife on the 150 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard.
He then proceeded to steal an item from the victim and fled the scene.
A subsequent call at approximately 1:11 p.m. led officers back to the same location for another report of a person with a knife.
Responding officers, armed with a description from detectives based on the earlier incident, identified and detained a suspect matching the description.
Upon searching Marsh, officers found a knife with brass knuckles in his possession.
He was immediately arrested and charged with armed robbery and carrying a dangerous weapon.
Marsh is set to face the charges in Roxbury District Court.
