The following reports were taken from Allston-Brighton’s District 14 crime logs from October 2 to October 9.
At about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, an officer responded to reports of a fight outside 36 Ashford St. Two witnesses, both 19-year-old Boston University students, told the officer they had engaged in a heated argument with a group of black males and one white male.
The argument had escalated into a fight and witnesses said their friend, a 20-year-old BU student, was hit in the head with a blunt object resembling a log. The victim suffered a large cut on his head and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
The witnesses told the officer the victim was struck with the object by a 6-foot black man weighing approximately 210 pounds and wearing a tan do-rag and tan t-shirt. The suspect ran away after hitting the victim.
The officer questioned a suspect and then released him. Other officers received earlier complaints about a man fitting the same physical description and wearing the same clothing as the suspect who hit the victim with the blunt object.
After witnesses told the officer that they saw the suspects run toward 41 Ashford St., the officer entered the house and dispersed a party underway there. A search for the suspect at the house proved fruitless.
LOUD BANGING
At approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to the call of Brighton man who claimed a man was banging on his second-floor apartment door and attempting to enter the residence.
Upon arrival, officers smelled a pungent alcoholic odor coming from a 22-year-old man standing outside the front door. When officers walked the man downstairs and asked what he was doing at the apartment, he responded, “I don’t know, let me just go.”
Officers talked to the caller — a tenant — who said he was frightened because his apartment had been broken into only a few days earlier. The caller told police the man banged on the door and yelled, “Let me in,” repeatedly.
The caller said the man was a stranger and there was no reason for him to be at the apartment so early in the morning. Officers informed the man he had the wrong address and he would be arrested if he did not leave, but the man proclaimed loudly, “No, no. My friends live here, my friends live here.”
He then ran back upstairs toward the apartment door. When officers caught up with the man, a brief scuffle took place and both the officers and the man fell to the floor.
Finally, officers restrained the man and placed him under arrest for trespassing, disorderly person and resisting arrest.
