Someone in the Boston area really likes clubbing

A suburb outside of Boston remains on edge after a string of serial attacks left nearly a dozen men clubbed over the head, as police are “dramatically increasing” patrols and offered a $5,000 reward Tuesday for information that helps pinpoint who might be responsible

The apparently random string of attacks begun Nov. 10 at the Gardencrest apartment complex in Waltham, a Massachusetts suburb of some 60,000 residents about 11 miles west of Boston, but has spread to the downtown area. The victims have all been men who were walking alone, but they range in age from 20 to the mid-40s and are of various ethnic backgrounds, Police Chief Keith MacPherson said.

The motive is somewhat in question but it appears to be a thrill of the assault, or someone who’s very violent and enjoys seeing someone hurt by this,” MacPherson said Tuesday. “There’s never been a robbery. It’s always been just an assault and the assailant takes off.”
