According to Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox, the incident occurred on the outskirts of the Dominican Festival that took place on Sunday.

Five people -- three males and two females -- were taken to nearby hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police have not identified any suspects but say they are reviewing footage from the area.

"We spared no expense, nor any law enforcement resources on this," Cox said in a press conference on Sunday night. "You can't come to our city and do these kinds of things and not expect to be held responsible."
