CPD arrested a juvenile at the Burger King located at 502 Mass. Ave after a disturbance with the manager. The youth was asked to leave by a female employee. He refused and threw a cup of ice water on her. She then came out from behind the counter, at which point the youth punched her in the face and ripped a pierced earring out of her ear. The two were separated and as she was walking back behind the counter he threw a metal straw dispenser at her, hitting her in the shoulder. She was taken to Cambridge City Hospital and was treated for a shoulder contusion and a swollen eye.
