HPD seeks information on ‘suspicious video’ showing person in middle of road at night

by | Jun 4, 2026 | Featured: News, Featured: Police & Fire, News, Police & Fire

The Hopkinton Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance as it investigates a suspicious video circulating online.

The video, seen on social media Thursday morning and reposted to the Hopkinton Police Department’s Facebook page, shows a suspicious individual walking into the middle of the road wearing what appears to be a construction vest and helmet. A passing car drives by and swerves to avoid this person.

In an email to the Independent early Thursday afternoon, HPD Deputy Chief Scott van Raalten stated: “[W]e cannot confirm the date, time, or exact location of the video at this time. We are attempting to contact the individual who made the original post to gather further information.”

The investigation is active and ongoing. Anyone with any information about this individual is asked to contact HPD at 508-497-3401.
