A situation arose on Carson Beach on Tuesday morning that needed police presence.

According to Jay Kenny on twitter, Boston Police and State Police were searching for weapon at Carson Beach near the bathhouse near State Police barracks. Allegedly a man pulled pistol on two women and was in police custody.

K9 units were also on site searching for a tossed weapon.

So if you were driving along the beach and saw all the police, that’s the reason why.  Be safe out there!
