Southie Shaken by Random Street Attack; Cops Hunt Celtics Fan Suspect
In a brazen daylight assault that rattled South Boston residents, the Boston Police Department is on the hunt for a Celtics fan and four accomplices linked to an aggravated assault that unfolded in the neighborhood. On the afternoon of Sunday, March 17, around 4:41 PM, three individuals were violently assaulted by a group of five on 186 Tudor Street; this group, in a swift move that followed their unprovoked attack, fled toward F Street, the attack appearing seemingly random and leaving the community seeking answers and justice.
According to the official BPD community alert, a key suspect in this incident is described as a white male, aged between 30 to 40 years, about 5’11" in height, weighing around 200 pounds.
