The man told officers three men with handguns invaded his home, demanding money and asking for ‘Adrienne,’ the man’s roommate, who was not home. They beat and pistol whipped the man and another roommate until two of his friends entered the apartment to return a video game.

THOSE TRAIN HORNS AREN’T COMING FROM YOUR IPOD

Police responded to a pedestrian struck by an MBTA trolley at 9:23 a.m. Nov. 17. Boston police officers found Boston College police already tending to the man, who was lying between a metal dividing fence and the trolley, bleeding from the mouth and nose with a laceration on his head. Firefighters arrived to take over treatment of the man, who was conscious but could not make any coherent words, and the trolley driver, who was suffering from shortness of breath and tightness in the chest. The sole witness told police he heard the train blowing its horn and ringing bells repeatedly, and when he looked up saw the man crossing the tracks where there was no fence nor crossing area. The witness said the man was wearing headphones and never acknowledged the trolley, and only looked up just before the train hit him. The man was transported to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he was reported in fair condition.
