NORTHBOROUGH – Police Chief Brian Griffin reported Friday night that the Northborough Police Department is seeking charges against a West Boylston man in connection with an assault that occurred at a children’s soccer game.
On March 1 at approximately 6 p.m., the Northborough Police Department was called to Teamworks for a report of a fight on the field. Officers learned through an initial investigation that an altercation had occurred between a parent of a child who was playing and a coach of an opposing team.
Through its continuing investigation that included a review of video, the parent, a 36-year-old West Boylston man, was issued a summons to appear in Westborough District Court to face a charge of assault and battery.
The Northborough Police Department does not identify defendants who are being summoned to court. The individual being charged will be identified once he is arraigned in Westborough District Court.
This is an ongoing case.
