What did the man who was almost slashed to death do– allegedly play his music too loud? This s***bag with the short temper & the blade will learn some manners-the boys’ll have a blast w/him when he gets sent to Cedar Junction or Souza-Baranowski!

The woman (and a man) that took off running from the accident on Middlesex Street that ultimately hit the brick wall was Swahili and ended up at out Townhouse complex next door. She didn’t speak a lick of English. When the police came to ask them questions they kept asking for help. After repeatedly asking them their names, the officers left (and left them here stranded). They were confused and crying. My partner and I gave them waters and called a number the woman had in her purse. It was her niece who lives in Nashua who grateful someone called her then came to pick them up. This was the same piece of paper we saw the woman give the police officer as they were being questioned. I don’t know what happened, but am glad we were there to help….your buddy, Troix.

Sadly,some people think it IS a game…..use your brain! Not everybody does drugs, packs blades or heat or gets in fights….those lucky enough to live through all this s**t and grow up become responsible citizens!

Would you be posting those casual ‘observations’ if your wife,girlfriend,mother,aunt,or sister was the victim of this s***bag that you appear to be absolving of any responsibility? Use your brain!

The man confirms that he hit the suv. The damage is to the rear. Pedestrians have a duty as well, just can’t walk or roll into the rear of a car

Who is giving these idiots licenses in the first place? It seems that none of these people are aware of a little thing called the fundamental speed law,which states that speed is to be reasonable @ all times- not to exceed 25 mph in thickly-settled areas; 20 in school zones w/flashing lights. A thickly-settled area is anywhere where buildings are less than 200 feet apart, which qualifies the whole city!

I think you have the facts reversed….the man in the wheelchair is 44 and the man in suv was probably the 58 year old person. The driver did not have his light on the vehicle making it harder for the person hit to see him and vice versa. He was a quadriplegic who had difficulty with his peripheral vision and had just got stuck; a good samaritan freed him from the pothole. When he tried to go ahead he was hit by the vehicle. He underwent surgery today to save his legs but will need further surgery to prevent further problems. The man hit was Tom and he lives in Lowell.

April I just messaged you. I got the reports, but a lot of the key information is redacted. I’m going to ask my boss to appeal the redactions to a court, and suggest that we write about what’s in the reports in the meantime. I’ll be in touch by early next week at the latest.
