By adamg on Thu, 03/12/2015 - 10:06pm
Boston Police report arresting Brandon Jones, 20, for allegedly trying to end an argument at Boston Garden last night with a knife.
The victim, a man in his early 20s, was taken to Mass. General and is expected to survive, police say.
Jones was nabbed in Braintree today and is scheduled for arraignment on a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in Boston Municipal Court tomorrow.
Police Commissioner William Evans said Jones's prompt arrest should be a lesson for:
Any fan who attends a game in our city and thinks it’s okay to engage in the type of violent behavior on display during last night’s game. If you go to a game and hurt or harm a fellow fan, we’re going to find you and make you accountable for your actions.
Innocent, etc.

A police report in his Quincy District Court file from an earlier assault-and-battery case in Braintree notes that as of February 2014 – when Jones was a few months past his 19th birthday – he’d had 13 adult arraignments, 5 juvenile arraignments and “multiple” probation violations.
The court file says his most recent violation was Feb. 27, when he didn’t show up for a probation session. In the 2014 Braintree case, Jones pleaded guilty to two charges – assault with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon – for punching a former Braintree High School classmate with brass knuckles outside the McDonald’s on Pearl Street in South Braintree Square. Jones also threatened his victim with a knife. Jones was in jail until he pleaded guilty and was sentenced in August 2014. He was given 10 months in the Norfolk County jail but got credit for the 169 days he spent in jail.
Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s spokesman, David Traub, said Jones still has three open cases in Quincy District Court – two December 2014 charges of trespassing and shoplifting, and a minor motor-vehicle charge from January of this year.
In the police report for the 2014 assault arrest, Jones’ victim said he was walking past the McDonald’s to meet his mother when Jones got out of a parked car, tapped him on the shoulder and said “Hey” before Jones hit him in the mouth with the brass knuckles.
He said Jones tried to open a folding knife, chased him down the street and threatened to stab him. He reached his mother’s car before Jones could catch him.

Workaround
Seriously. Just wait till after the game and hit him with your car instead like the rest of us. Then claim you didn't see him and enjoy your weekend.
Works every time, sadly.
Works every time, sadly.
Except
You've got intent. I don't see how you could say that there was no connection between the initial confrontation, any veiled threat, and the action with the car.
Honest to God
Can you name a single intentional crash like you suggest here where the driver wasn't charged? If not, then this line of thinking is so worn out and so dishonest that the people who promote it should be ashamed. It's no better than posting a suicide hotline number every time a cyclist gets hit on the grounds that everyone knows how dangerous it is to ride a bike in the street.
Aren't there like
video cameras everywhere in the Garden? You would think people would realize that and decide not to break the law. But I guess when some folks get angry it's hard for them to think.
Alcohol and rage
Make people stop thinking and start doing stupid things.
