Man with axe tried to carve up man with knife inside the Copley Square library, but was not up to the task

NBC Boston reports a fight between two men on Boylston Street outside the BPL main library Monday morning spilled into the cafe just past the main entrance, where one of the combatants, with an axe in one hand, kept trying to carve up the other guy, but fortunately for that man, armed with just a knife, his opponent was unable to land any blows.

It's a daytime homeless shelter for mostly seriously mentally disturbed people, and those who prey on them.

BPL provides myriad valuable services.

You should visit someday.

C'mon. It's ok to admit it.

Yes, crime is down, but the library periphery has become a bit of a cesspool.

If you deny that, you are blinded by political sycophantism.

Last time I checked you really, really don't need an axe in Copley Square unless you are posing for the Lumberjacks In Urban Settings 2025 Calendar.

“Data” is not the plural of “anecdote”.

Don't they broadcast a radio show from that cafe around the time that this happened?

Got a link Ron; Do they stream or is it only on terrestrial radio?
