Several people were attacked at random and one person had a cellphone stolen last week in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood, police said Monday, asking for help finding the group responsible.
Police shared images of four people believed to be suspects in the attacks on Friday. All were wearing masks and hoods.
One of the suspects was wearing a blue and maroon hooded Nike jacket with a white hoodie underneath and pants that have the letters S and M on them, according to police.
In one instance, a young victim, who is disabled, was waiting for his mother outside of a TGI Fridays restaurant, when police said a group of teenagers came up and began beating him.

The victim was bleeding from his ear, had dried blood stains on his clothes, large welts on his head and visible shoe impressions on his face, police said.
Police said they found surveillance video that corroborated the shocking and violent attack.
Two other victims came forward later in the day to report similar unprovoked assaults nearby on Pontiac Street.
In one attack, the victim said his cell phone and earbuds were also stolen.
A 14-year-old girl inside the Nubian Square bus station on Friday, who matched the description and clothing of one of the attackers caught on camera, was arrested, according to police.
Anyone with information about the four people was asked to contact detectives by calling 617-343-4275. They can also reach out anonymously by calling 1-800-494-TIPS or by texting "TIP" to CRIME (the number 27463).
