Harvard University Police Department arrested a homeless man who reportedly assaulted a group of individuals outside Johnston Gate on the west end of Harvard Yard early in the morning on Sept. 9.
Keith Johns, a 28-year-old homeless man, reportedly threw a cell phone at a group of people walking in Harvard Square at 1:18 a.m. and struck one of them, according to a Harvard University Police Department log from the day of the incident.
Johns then approached the group in what was reported as “an aggressive and threatening manner,” and taunted them. According to the report, he also asked, “What are you going to do?” and said, “I'm going to get you.” The offender then left Harvard Yard.
When HUPD arrived on the scene, they searched the area and found Johns. They then questioned and arrested him on the spot for assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, according to the police report.
