Line-cutting rage at Brighton club ended with literal back stabbing, DA says

A Boston man was arraigned yesterday on charges he stabbed somebody in the back five times after a show at Roadrunner on Guest Street in Brighton shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 1.

A Brighton Municipal Court judge ordered Collin Hullum, 36, of Boston, held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing on Friday on charges of assault to kill and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

According to the DA's office, the victim was not even one of the guys who had been directly involved in an earlier confrontation inside Roadrunner with Hullum's sister, but somebody who was trying to act as a peacemaker when voices started getting raised in an argument after closing across the street at the Warrior Ice Arena.

The DA's office reports that earlier in the evening, Hullum's sister "cut the line at the bar and was confronted for doing so" and then ran to bro and told him one of the dudes had assaulted her. After Roadrunner let out for the night, the DA's office says:

Surveillance video shows a verbal argument between the victim’s group and three unidentified males inside the foyer of the Warrior Ice Arena, located at 90 Guest Street. One of the males, later identified as Hullum, is seen striking the victim on his back area. The victim is then seen running away from Hullum, clutching his back.

Hullum is also seen holding a knife in a TikTok video that was posted online.

The victim appeared to have attempted to break up the altercation before being stabbed.

The DA's office adds:

A second individual was also observed carrying a knife during the altercation and at one point attempted to stab two individuals while inside the foyer of the Warrior Ice Arena. That individual will be charged at a later time.

In a statement, DA Kevin Hayden said:

What was supposed to be an evening out enjoying a show quickly turned into a violent altercation that resulted in one man facing serious injuries and another man facing serious charges. The victim here seemed to be attempting to stop the violence. I thank him for that and I wish him a full recovery.

Innocent, etc.
