October 4, 2007
BOSTON --A Quincy man is nursing
multiple facial fractures after a group of men who had earlier asked
him if he was a Red Sox fan went on to attack him in New York.
Police in Yonkers say two men from Pennsylvania were arrested and charged with second-degree felony assault on Carlos Ortez.
The Boston Globe reports that the 25-year-old carpenter was in New York to work on a construction project in a Manhattan hotel.
He
was watching a Red Sox-Angels playoff game with colleagues at a bar
when another patron asked them if they had pride in Boston.
That man was later joined by two other people who approached the construction workers from behind as they left the bar.
Police
said they attacked Ortez after he parted ways with two colleagues. The
assailants fled after the two returned to help him on witnessing the
assault.
Ortez's employer tells The Globe he is in the intensive care unit at Westchester Medical Center.
