The owner of Russ & Mimi's, a gourmet foods market in Roslindale, discovered that her business's Pride flag had been torn down overnight.
Kelly Walsh, the owner, found the flag missing on October 4 and later discovered it in a nearby alley the next day.
The flagpole, attached to a wall, had been damaged, with metal brackets and anchors ripped out, indicating an intentional act.
The community, including city officials, showed support for Walsh and her business after the incident.
No comment from the owner is available at this time.
