Three Boston police officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries Tuesday while responding to a radio call at the Boston Public Library, where a man who had reportedly been masturbating punched and bit the officers, according to authorities. Police responded to reports from library staff around 8:30 a.m. saying an adult male — later identified as Cornelio Conley, 43 — was masturbating in front of the historic building. BOSTON POLICE SAY 19-YEAR-OLD INVOLVED IN TRIPLE STABBING"When asked to leave by library staff, Conley became combative and assaulted a member of library staff," the Boston Police Department (BPD) said Tuesday in a news release.
