STOUGHTON, Mass. (WLNE) — A Randolph woman was arrested and charged on Sunday for allegedly assaulting an off-duty police officer after hitting his vehicle and fleeing during a road rage incident. 20-year-old Vashiyra Mason was arrested and charged with assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, and more. According to officials, on Dec. 22, at approximately 1:06 p.m., Stoughton Police responded to the area of 278 Washington St. for a report of a disturbance. An off-duty Stoughton Police sergeant had called the station and reported he was following a vehicle that side-swiped his car and left the scene. The preliminary investigation indicated that Mason allegedly drove into the oncoming traffic lane and around the off-duty officer’s vehicle on Pine Street and side-swiped the front of the car. Mason then allegedly stopped in a parking lot, where the off-duty officer followed her. In the parking lot, the off-duty officer identified himself multiple times as a Stoughton Police sergeant in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. Mason allegedly then hit the off-duty officer in the upper body, neck, and face area. The off-duty officer then restrained Mason to prevent her from injuring him or herself, according to officials. A 19-year-old Brockton woman in Mason’s car allegedly started to hit the off-duty officer in the back of his head and neck. The passenger then allegedly began to attack a woman who was with the off-duty officer. Upon arrival, police found the two vehicles stopped in a parking lot. An on-duty officer who responded witnessed Mason also allegedly grab the woman who was with the off-duty officer by her hair, and punch her in the back of the head multiple times. The 19-year-old will appear in Stoughton District Court on charges of assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery, and resisting arrest. Mason was arraigned on Monday in Stougton.
