Police in the city of Newburyport are investigating an incident in which a white man is accused of yelling a racial slur at a 14-year-old black boy.
The boy was one of three youths (the other two white) who bought Munchkins at a Dunkin' Donuts on State Street in Newburyport on Thursday, July 18 and were sharing them with passersby, according to The Daily News of Newburyport.
Cuttyhunk, the most remote of the Elizabeth Islands, now has 8 positive tests for coronavirus, town officials said.
Four of the people who tested positive were on the island as of Monday, July 20, and four had since left, a selectman told The Vineyard Gazette. No one was hospitalized, the fire chief said.
