A 14-year-old boy was arrested yesterday after he pushed a senior citizen off a dock because he "thought it would be funny," police said.
The North Falmouth teen – whose name was not released because he is a juvenile – was at Megansett Beach when the 2:20 p.m. incident occurred. Police said the boy ran up behind the 71-year-old victim, who was fishing off the dock with his grandson, and pushed him off the dock and into the ocean.
The man suffered lacerations to both knees and lost his prescription glasses, police said.
Although the boy fled into the woods by the Talk of the Town Diner, several people at the beach knew his identity and immediately called police.
Once arrested, the boy was allowed to make one phone call. Police said he chose to call a friend to "brag and laugh" about what he had done.

French military show injures 17
A military show in southern France has left 17 people wounded, after real bullets were used instead of blanks. The injured included five children. Four people, including one child, were said to have been seriously hurt - though three have now stabilized. The incident occurred during a public demonstration of hostage-freeing techniques at a barracks in Aude.
The soldier who fired the shots has been detained - though an official said it was probably an accident.
It is not clear why the wrong ammunition was used in Sunday's demonstration.
But it was "99.9%" likely to be "an unintentional fault," Colonel Benoit Royal, head of the French army's information service said.
