Two Charged in Connection with Unrelated Assaults at Boston Common

BOSTON, July 27, 2017—A man who allegedly struck a rival with a skateboard before being stabbed himself and a second man accused of stabbing a different person in the neck were arraigned in the Boston Municipal Court today, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

GEORGE MOUSTAKIS (D.O.B. 7/31/86) of Danvers was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for the earlier of the two incidents, in which he allegedly used a skateboard to beat a 23-year-old Roxbury man during an altercation at about 5:30 yesterday evening – shortly before he himself was apparently stabbed and transported to New England Medical Center for injuries that were not life-threatening. The investigation by Boston Police into that stabbing remains open and active.

Boston Municipal Court Judge Thomas Horgan set Moustakis’ bail at $3,500 and ordered Moustakis to stay away from the victim, witnesses, and Boston Common.

ALEXIS CONCEPCION GARCIA (D.O.B. 6/9/75) of Beacon Hill was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for allegedly slashing a 51-year-old Theater District man during a confrontation at about 9:30 pm. The victim suffered lacerations to his forearm, his hand, and the area of his neck and jaw that were not life threatening. Garcia was arrested at the scene after witnesses provided statements and a cell phone video to responding Boston Police.

Judge Horgan set Garcia’s bail at $10,000 and ordered him to stay away from the victim and the Common.

Moustakis was represented by attorney Patrick Troy and will return to court on Sept. 27. Garcia was represented by attorney John Hayes and will return to court on Aug. 25.
