Cambridge Police report arresting Brian Coakley, 25, of Dedham on a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for an incident shortly after midnight on Sunday at a Cambridge Street bar.
Police say Coakley tried to settle an argument with another man by smashing a bottle over his head. Coakley then ran away, but was nabbed down the street, police say, adding his victim was taken to a Boston hospital with "severe lacerations to the face."
Innocent, etc.

Dedham man

Dedham man
Which bar, I wonder?
Seems odd they omit that detail...
The bar was The Rising on
The bar was The Rising on Cambridge Street.
Which bar on Cambridge Street?
I occasionally go to Atwood's so I'm wondering if it's that one (hope not)
Wondering the same thing
My guess is maybe Thirsty Scholar? It's hard to imagine this happening at any of the bars on Cambridge St.
Thirsty Scholar is neither on Cambridge St nor in Cambridge
If something happened there, Somerville police would respond
ahh right
beacon st. of course. good call
i'd put a $5'er
....on Courtside. yeah, i honestly can't imagine much bottle-smashing happening at say....Wit's End or any of the Inman spots. anymore, anyway.
The Port
Until I read the detail that is was over on that end of Cambridge I was like, wait someone remade the Cambridgeport Saloon?
It's a little annoying how
It's a little annoying how the Cambridge police log lists just the street where incidents occur. It could be a tiny dead end, or Mass Ave. Maybe it's in the name of privacy, but they should realize that if they can name a one-block-long street, they can also name which block of Cambridge Street this was.
