Dudes try to escape police on the skateboards they allegedly used to smash somebody in the face

Updated with info from BPD.

Two of three men who smashed a man with their skateboards outside the Haymarket-station Dunkin' Donuts last night tried to use their boards to outrace pursuing police officers, but failed.

Police say that around 7:25 p.m., the skater boys attacked a 53-year-old man who accidentally bumped into one of them outside the Dunkin' Donuts at the station. They then took off towards the Garden, with police quickly on their tail, thanks to an alert MBTA bus driver who pointed them out.

The victim was taken to Mass. General; his injuries are not considered life threatening, police say.

Police say they caught one at Causeway and Beverly streets and the other near Canal Street and Valenti Way. The third man was not nabbed.

Corey Deltufo, 19, of Boston and Tommy Gedeus, 24, of Chelsea, were both charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (skateboard). Gedeus was also charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after booking officers recovered bags of marijuana from him., police say.

Innocent, etc.

A deadly weapon that also doubles as the getaway vehicle. How efficient.

this is Massachusetts, where anything can qualify as a deadly weapon.
