Outnumbered and struggling to reach backup, a Boston police officer apparently drew his gun on a group of five suspects detained for allegedly breaking into cars at a garage in Post Office Square last week, according to video clips of the incident.

The footage shows only a portion of the tense Sept. 27 exchange, which resulted in all five suspects, including two juveniles, being arrested on trespassing and breaking and entering charges, among other counts.

“We got stuck, and we were trying to leave,” a female voice shouts in one clip posted to social media. “And he has a gun in his hand, and we’re all underage.”

The officer then instructs the group to “get the f*** away from that knife,” prompting the girl to ask, “what knife?”

“Get down on the f***ing ground right now. Get down!”
