BOSTON -- The Boston Fire Department is fired up after two of their own are attacked on the job.
Investigators said the pair was assaulted around 11:30 p.m. Sunday night by a group of teens at 525 Main St.
Christopher Corwin was helping a tractor-trailer driver, who stopped by the firehouse asking for directions. As Corwin and another firefighter, Danny Donahoe, were directing traffic so that the tractor-trailer could turn around, occupants in one of the stopped cars grew argumentative about having to wait.
The four suspects then reportedly jumped out of the car and beat the victims with baseball bats. They also allegedly used their hands, feet and teeth to attack the pair.
"They were in a hurry," Corwin said. "They said get 'out of the way.' And I said, 'give the guy a minute, he's gotta turn around.' And the next thing you know he got out of the car and coming at me. And I can't be really on the offensive being in uniform and stuff, so you back away a little bit."
The firefighters were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with head injuries, as well as cuts and bruises.
Anyone with information on the alleged attackers is asked to call the Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-494-TIPS or the Boston Police Department.
The suspects will be charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
no matter the color, you are quite correct about white liberals. Liberals with the PC garbage is corroding all civility in America. Instead of being raised to do "what's right" everything is codified in law. The liberals encourage the lie, in the strongest possible way that capitalism is bad, that the "man keeps you down" and so on. The left destroyed the family with Johnson's Great Society. I don't know how it all gets rolled back. Many Reps are showing the are nothing but detestable wimps.
Don’t firefighters have axes anymore?
Did beating the firemen help them get to where they were going, FASTER?
They couldn’t have been Yankees.... In case you haven’t noticed, the Yankees can’t hit anything this year!
