City crime log

The following reports were taken form the Allston-Brighton D14 crime logs from Feb. 19 to Feb. 26.

Thursday, a man with a knife caused a disturbance at an Allston apartment located at 1202 Commonwealth Ave. At 4:59 p.m. the victim stated that he was in the front lobby of the building when he saw the suspect trying to get inside by banging on the glass door. He recognized the suspect because he caused similar disturbances in the past and had been found sleeping in the lobby. When the victim refused to open the door, the suspect became angry. The victim yelled “I’ll kill you” and “I’ll do you” at the victim, who returned to his apartment. However, the suspect began banging on the side window of the apartment. When the victim looked out the window, he found the suspect with a knife in his hand. He yelled, “I’ll cut you up” before fleeing down the ally toward Harvard Street. At 5:32 p.m., the suspect returned to the building at 1202 Comm. Ave. and gained entrance into the victim’s apartment while he was gone. The suspect was then placed under arrest and charged with breaking and entering, assault and threats.

The balding thief

A breaking and entering incident occurred at 8:34 p.m. Sunday inside a commercial building located at 1660 Soldiers Field Road. When the police arrived at the scene, the security alarm was sounding and the officers realized that the break-in was either still in progress or had recently occurred. The police cleared the building before investigating the incident. They concluded that the intruder had accessed the building through a vent in the roof and destroyed part of the ceiling to enter the store inside the building. There was evidence that the intruder had attempted to access the money safe and had access to the store’s front cash registers. The building’s store video shows the suspect as a white man with a receding hairline wearing a dark vest and blue jeans.

Hit and tow

At 3:30 p.m. Friday, a tow truck driver assaulted a woman at 11 Commonwealth Court. The victim stated that she had parked her car in her boyfriend’s parking spot to help him move some items from his apartment. When she returned to her car, Brighton Towing had her car on a tow truck and a tow truck driver was inside the car. When she confronted him about the incident, he refused to talk to the building manager and shoved her to the ground with two hands. The victim’s car was then towed to the Brighton Tow lot at 98 Hano St.
