BOSTON — Two men are being sought in connection to an assault in South Boston, according to police.
Officers were called to Third Street around 1 a.m. Sunday, May 12, where they found a man they say had been kicked and punched by two assailants.
The men exchanged words regarding a loud noise and police say that's when the two beat the victim.
The victim, who only wanted to be identified as Chris, told Boston 25 News he just got home from his surprise 40th birthday party when he encountered a large group of people in the street. He asked them to leave, and they did, but Chris says two came back.
Chris was left bloodied and bruised with fractures to his facial area and a torn pectoral muscle. He told us he may have to get reconstructive surgery.
