Police Seek To Question Boston Bruins Fans After Vicious Assault

QUINCY (CBS) – Transit police are looking to question five Boston Bruins fans who they believe "viciously beat" someone after Thursday night's playoff game.

The alleged assault and battery happened at about midnight at the North Quincy MBTA station, and left the victim with facial fractures.

Transit police shared photos of five men, most in Bruins gear, who are wanted for questioning.

The Bruins beat the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 of the playoff series earlier that night at the TD Garden.

"To me it's very disheartening," commuter Ann Chin said Monday afternoon. "They won for Pete's sake. They didn't lose. Go figure!"

Surveillance cameras did not capture the assault, but did catch the suspects scattering.

As police try to ID the men, they're saying nothing about the circumstances or motive. The condition of the victim is unknown.

Anyone with information can contact investigators at 617-222-1050.
