Victim(s)
Male, age 29, FitchburgDetails
A Babe's employee feared for his life after a man started swinging an aluminum baseball bat at his head Wednesday night. The suspect had just been kicked out of the bar for bothering women. His bat connected several times with the outside doors, shattering them, but missing the employee who was trying to keep the suspect from re-entering. The victim was able to get the license plate number of the suspect's car. Officers went to man's Waterside St. home, where he was found hiding in a closet. A loaded handgun was within his reach, and an officer told him not to touch it or he (the officer) would shoot the suspect. The intoxicated 64-year old was initially belligerent but later apologized for his behavior. He was arrested on tentative charges listed above.Released 09/13/2012 at 9:46 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
