Police in a Boston suburb have arrested a man who they say entered a courthouse while wearing a gas mask and tactical gear and attacked several people with pepper spray.
Nicholas Akerberg, 28, of Yarmouth Port, wore a helmet, gas mask, tactical boots and sunglasses when he entered Woburn District Court on Monday, security footage shows. Akerberg deployed pepper spray at multiple court officers, a police officer and an assistant district attorney, according to a statement from the Middlesex district attorney's office.
