Two men were arrested days after a shooting on the set of The Equalizer 2, a movie starring Denzel Washington, currently being shot in Roxbury.

The suspects, Thomas Perkins, 18, of Quincy, and Dionte Martinez, 18, of Boston, were arrested Thursday and charged with assault with intent to murder and gun offenses, the Associated Press reports.

They were arraigned in Roxbury District Court on Friday.

The shooting occurred on Sept. 30, around 12:53 a.m. Police said no scenes were being filmed at the time and the stars of the movie were not on set.

Two security guards, a 40-year-old woman and 33-year-old man, suffered minor injuries and have since been released from the hospital.

Police arrived to search the area, but could not locate the suspects. They did, however, managed to recover two firearms discarded during the shooting.

"After a complete and thorough investigation, officers were able to later learn and ascertain the identities of the suspects wanted in connection to the shooting," Boston police wrote.

Perkins and Martinez were arrested by the Youth Violence Strike Force and Quincy police five days later.

According to the Boston Globe, bail was set at $10,000 for Martinez and $8,000 for Perkins. Both were ordered to wear GPS monitors, stay away from each other and all witnesses and follow a strict curfew.
