On September 28th 2023 at about 7:45 AM, Worcester Police officers were dispatched to Dunkin Donuts at 845 Main St for a report of a male threatening people with a knife. Upon arrival, officers spoke with witnesses, who reported that a male entered the store and began making demands. When his demands were denied, he displayed a knife and began yelling at employees. A bystander tried to intervene and officers were told that the suspect put the knife in the bystander’s face before fleeing the scene. Officers issued a BOLO for the male.
While checking the area, officers located a male, identified as Curtis Bryan, fifty-one-years-old of Main St, who matched the description given by witnesses.
