Police: Dorchester drug dealers cut it too close; East Boston thief gets a slice of the action

Boston Police report arresting three men on drug charges at the Finest Cuts barbershop, 405 Blue Hill Ave. shortly after 6 p.m. yesterday. One of the men allegedly had more than a pound of cocaine on him.

Meanwhile, police say a man walking with three boxes of pizza on Saratoga Street in East Boston last night was allegedly set upon by a trio of ruffians who demanded a box:

The suspects then told the victim that the pizzas now belonged to them and started assaulting him by grabbing and punching him. Per the victim, the suspects, after assaulting him, took his pizzas and walked away. The victim en route home observed the suspects sitting in front of 189 Prince Street eating the pizzas they had just robbed from him. The suspects then attacked the victim again and began hitting the victim again forcing him to defend himself.

One of the three was arrested; the other two didn't stick around.
