An email the night of the attack from Miles Grant (author of “The Green Miles” blog):
My neighbor got mugged in front of our apartment tonight. The Green Girlfriend and I were watching the Red Sox game on my laptop when it happened. Fortunately our yelling scared the muggers off.…From what we heard, our neighbor ran an errand at the CVS at Pershing and Glebe, the attackers followed him up Glebe to Henderson/Quincy, then down 5th to our apartment….Fortunately he's OK and I don't think they got his wallet, but certainly makes you re-think living in an area that has apparently become a target for criminals (remember the robbery at the market across the intersection).

It was the Hyde Park Grocery and Laundry. Click the link and scroll down to Police Notes for more on that one. --ST
