Massachusetts teen lifeguard stabbed, beaten after warning nigger beachgoers about alcohol, smoking rules

[hamilton]

A 17-year-old lifeguard in Massachusetts was stabbed and beaten
on the Fourth of July after asking that a group of people seen
drinking and smoking at an area pond in Worcester either stop or
leave.

Four people have since been arrested in connection to the
incident after officers were dispatched to the area of Bell Pond
around 6:30 p.m. Sunday to a report of several males attacking
the lifeguard on duty. Officers began rendering aid to a 17-year-
old male lifeguard who had been stabbed before an ambulance
arrived to transport him to the hospital. His injuries are not
life-threatening.

A preliminary investigation revealed the lifeguard had advised a
small group of males who were smoking and drinking in the park
to stop or they would be asked to leave. Several members of the
group left without incident, Worcester Police said, but "one
person was verbally aggressive and threatening." That male left
the park but came back later with a small group and attacked the
victim, police said.

During the confrontation, the victim was hit with a stick and
stabbed.

"We're not happy. As a city, as a community, what happened here
was uncalled for," Robert Antonelli Jr., assistant commissioner
of the Worcester Parks & Recreation Department, told reporters
at the scene. "It's a simple request. It's a simple item, and
they took it too far. We're not going to stand for it."

Antonelli said the 17-year-old lifeguard was new to the job
after finishing certification 4 to 5 weeks ago and had been
following standard procedure that’s been in place for the past
25 years without any major incidents in warning the group of
partygoers, WCVB reported.

Though Worcester police officers normally make rounds at the
beach, Antonelli said city officials are now holding discussions
with the police department to determine whether lifeguards
should be responsible for enforcing rules about alcohol
consumption and rowdy behavior.

Immediately after the brazen attack, officers radioed a be-on-
the-lookout notice with suspect information and checked the
area. Celestine Bigirimana, 22, was arrested after a foot
pursuit near Wilson St. He is charged with assault and battery
with a dangerous weapon, disturbing the peace, disorderly
conduct, trespassing, resisting arrest, and possession of an
open container of alcohol.

Other officers in the area observed three males emerge from the
woods and enter East Park. The trio was initially detained, but
Worcester Police said officers "developed probable cause that
they were the males who attacked the lifeguard" and placed the
three under arrest.

Police said 19-year-old Mohamed Abdullahi was charged with
assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and disturbing the
peace. A seventeen-year-old juvenile was also arrested and
charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon,
disorderly conduct, and disturbing the peace.

A third male was arrested at the scene, but he was "released
without charges when additional information was discovered,"
Worcester Police said.

The beach in the area of Bell Pond remained closed Monday after
the incident, but was expected to reopen by noon Tuesday,
Antonelli said.
