Two masked men punch out a third in Haymarket robbery attempt, police say

Coneeny

Transit Police report arresting one of two men they say punched a man in the face but were unable to grab his wallet because he ran away, which made it harder for them to reach into his pockets.

Transit Police say officers were patrolling the T station when a man ran towards them, screaming for help:

While standing outside the Dunkin Donuts two males wearing masks covering their faces approached and one of the males closed fisted punched him in the side of the face. The victim attempted to run away and was pursed by his attacker who was attempting to go into victim's pockets. The victim was able to flee.

Although one of the two made a hasty retreat, police say that the other, Michael Coneeny, 38, of Somerville, continued to hang out on the Cambridge Street side of the station Coneeny, whose record indicates he is not unfamiliar with arrest procedures, "was in possession of a mask as described by victim and admitted to the act," police say. He was charged with attempted unarmed robbery and assault and battery , police say.

I work around there and that area is giving the Methadone Mile a run for it's money. The Dunkin Donuts is completely overrun with disruptive addicts to the point that I won't even go in anymore.

That whole bus way is awful with addicts and such.

They all huddle in the bus shelter now that its cold and windy. Or beg for change on the bus way side.

Inside that dunks its just awful. I feel so bad for the employees.

One day I was in there getting a coffee and some person was acting all crazy and the employee said under his breath "every day working here kills a small part of me". I said "I know, I don't know how you do it".

My HUSBAND did NOT commit this crime and has NOT been using street drugs. The IDIOT claiming this also claims about 50 other ppl robbed him of $10,000 in Haymarket a month prior to this allegation... He's a Charlestown RAT!!! What doesn't come out in the wash, WILL come out in the rinse. Let's all believe the dirty laundry ppl make up, so they can feel better about themselves.
