Chaotic Confrontation Between Driver and Tow Truck Operator at Allston Gas Station
Officers responded to a radio call for an Assault & Battery in progress at 100 Brighton Ave. Thursday at 4:41 p.m. A driver parked in front of Speedway gas station in order to pick up a delivery order across the street at Spike’s Junkyard Dogs. A tow truck pulled up and began towing the car away. As the truck pulled away, the driver came back to retrieve their car, attempting to drive the car away while it was on the tow truck hook. Claiming that the car door was open, the driver shoved the tow truck operator in the chest to prevent the car from being towed and damaged. Both parties had no signs of injury and declined to file a criminal complaint against the other. The officer escorted the driver to Frank’s ABC Towing where they paid a fee and left the area.
