Crackdown in Boston Combat Zone Sparks Wild Night of Violence
Police, in two groups patrolling the Combat Zone, faced a stabbing spree as three youths emerged from shadows. An off duty state trooper, Donald Gould, collapsed after a fight and died of a heart attack after fleeing an operating room scene. Prostitutes’ union reps denounced the incident, claiming police fault for driving sex workers into Back Bay. The district’s bars were crowded with visitors watching exotic dancers, including a performer with a 10 foot boa constrictor.
