Boston Police report arresting a bouncer at the Grand Canal on Canal Street early Sunday.
Sidney Phillips, 31, of Avon, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon - a shod foot.
According to police, witnesses told officers that Phillips violently escorted a group of ten people outside around 1:30 a.m. after an argument inside the bar:
A Boston Police sergeant and a lawyer for Hurricane O'Reilly's agree on one point: Around 1:45 a.m. on Jan. 19, an unconscious patron was curled up in a fetal position on the sidewalk outside the Canal Street bar.
How he came to be in that position could determine whether the Boston Licensing Board punishes the bar at a meeting tomorrow.
The Boston Licensing Bar decides Thursday what to do about alleged incidents at Hurricane O'Reilly's, 150 Canal St., one involving a man who says he was held by a bouncer while other patrons punched and bit him, the other involving three teenagers who got soused using older friends' licenses.
"It's becoming a troubled premise," Boston Police Sgt. John Devaney told the licensing board. "We're down there every weekend ... Young kids, fights, disorder."
