Police: Suburban man goes berserk at Ruggles, attacks three women

A Walpole man is scheduled for arraignment on charges he allegedly beat three women waiting for a bus at Ruggles on Saturday.

According to MBTA Transit Police, Francis Cocuzzo, 40, went up to a woman waiting for a 28 bus around 6 p.m. and shoved her with his forearm:

The 2nd female victim intervened and told Cocuzzo to stop his behavior. Cocuzzo responded by grabbing the 2nd female victim by her jacket, restraining her against the bus and punching her repeatedly about the body. Cocuzzo then ripped a necklace the victim was wearing off her neck and placed it into his pocket. A third female victim attempted to stop Cocuzzo from his violent assault however he kicked her in the thigh area.

Police say that Cocuzzo then spit at responding officers and resisted being handcuffed. He was charged with assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot) and unarmed robbery. EMTs examined the women at the scene; none required hospitalization.

Innocent, etc.

I know Bostonians commit crimes in the suburbs - we've exchanged pleasantries over that topic before - but gee, just doesn't seem sporting to blame us for the actions of some Brocktonians.

It's a pretty funny/sad story. I was wondering if it would make the UHub page, even if it was out in the burbs.

And besides, a post on every Bostonian arrested at Dedham stores would use up all the digital thingeys on the Interwebs.

If you're going to use the "suburban" broad brush, why can't I use "urban"?

All the arrested were from Brockton.
Not much more urban than Stoughton.

Can't put that on the Hub.

Much of Brockton is no different than Hyde Park or Mattapan. So what is 'urban.' Brockton isn't exactly Needham or Dover.

Druggie. Maybe it's me, but the problem seems to be getting worse. Definitely more homeless people around of all ages.

If its the same Frank Cocuzzo I grew up with, he is from Roslindale originally. I think down by Healy Field - Sacred Heart area for sure. Last I saw him he was living in West Roxbury a couple of years ago.

Those who know him knows he has issues. has a good heart and was trying to do the right thing... Apparently he screwed up bad and has to face the consequences.
Here's hoping first off those women are ok and secondly Frank gets his sh*t together.

> was trying to do the right thing

Not sure what this means in the context of attacking 3 people?

... Trying to do the right thing in life... I wasn't referring to this situation - sorry if that wasn't obvious

"turning his life around" or other phrases used to try to lesson the sting of "somebody who has been messed up for a long time really messed up this time".
