Two brothers face several charges each for allegedly urinating on and then beating a homeless man in Boston.
State troopers say the man was sleeping late Tuesday next to the JFK "T" station on Columbia Rd. Evidence suggests that after urinating on the 58-year-old victim, Scott and Steve Leader punched him multiple times and struck him with a metal pole.
According to one witness statement, the victim may have slept with the pole nearby for protection.
The victim was transported to Boston Medical Center with a broken nose and bruises to his head and torso.
Scott J. Leader, 38, and Steve M. Leader, 30, both of South Boston, encountered the victim while heading home from the Red Sox game.
Police say both men became combative while being booked at the South Boston Barracks, exposing themselves and urinating in the cell, challenging troopers to come into the cells to fight and making threatening and anti-immigration statements.
The brothers will be arraigned in Dorchester District Court. They face several charges, including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
