Paul Revere rode into Lexington to warn the colonists. That's where the saying "The British are coming" comes from.
Paul Revere was stopped on the road to Concord outside of Lexington and his horse taken from him. At that point the British hadn't reached Lexington and when they did they were met by 77 colonists on the town green. There was no patriot leader taken that day by the British other than Revere earlier in the night.
to capture Paul Revere The objective of the British task force was a double one: capture the Patriot leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams and destroy the military depot established by the Continental Congress at Concord.

Paul Revere and William Dawes
During the events leading up to the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, the British forces were primarily searching for hidden military supplies, such as weapons and ammunition, that the American colonists had been stockpiling in preparation for a potential conflict with the British government. The British hoped to seize these supplies to prevent the colonists from using them to resist British authority. Additionally, the British were also aiming to capture key Patriot leaders, such as Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who were known to be in the area.
