Brick-wielding woman bashes Tesla as Boston police hunt suspected street menace

The Boston Police Department (BPD) is asking for the public’s help in tracking down a woman who is suspected of vandalizing a Tesla with a brick on Sunday night.

The incident happened near 10 O Street in South Boston, where the vehicle was parked by the curb.

The department released surveillance photos of the woman.

Teslas around the country have been subjected to vandalism by anti-Elon Musk activists. Musk is heading up the Department of Government Efficiency and working closely with President Donald Trump to eliminate government waste.

Recently, a woman caught a man vandalizing her Tesla Cybertruck outside Omni Mountain Resort & Spa in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.

The incident was filmed on the vehicle’s Sentry Mode video, and the vehicle’s owner, Kerry Pouliot, quickly called police. The man was questioned by police at the scene, who say the incident is under investigation.

In another instance of vandalism, a man was arrested in West Fargo, North Dakota, over the weekend for allegedly keying a Cybertruck in a Costco parking lot. He, too, was caught on Sentry Mode footage, and arrested shortly thereafter. Police charged him with a felony.

At least one Tesla owner is fighting back.

A Dallas man whose Tesla Model X was vandalized in the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport parking lot sued the man police allege is responsible for damaging his vehicle. Rafael Hernandez was arrested March 22 on a criminal mischief charge by the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office after he was recorded on Sentry Mode.

The unnamed victim told Fox News Digital that he is suing Hernandez for more than $1 million.

He said the accused man’s “motives were wrong, and [Hernandez’s] acts were intentional — it is for a judge and jury to decide, based on the facts, what his punishment should be. I believe strongly that I was targeted because my car is a Tesla.”

Four people have been charged at the federal level stemming from firebombings of Tesla facilities and charging stations around the country.

Scottish soccer fan who died in Boston was ‘Tartan Army to his core,’ fundraising page says – The Boston Globe

Scottish soccer fan who died in Boston was ‘Tartan Army to his core,’ fundraising page says – The Boston Globe

A Scottish man who died after collapsing outside a Boston pub while visiting for the World Cup is being remembered as a devoted soccer fan who was “Tartan Army to his core.”

Thomas Murty, known as “Tam,” died June 19 after collapsing near The Dubliner pub in downtown Boston a day earlier, according to a GoFundMe fundraising campaign to return Murty’s body to Scotland and pay for funeral expenses. Murty was born in 1963.

“Tam was Scotland daft his whole life,” the GoFundMe page reads. “He lived for it — the highs, the heartbreaks, the songs, the hope that never died no matter how many years went by. Following Scotland wasn’t just something he did; it was who he was.”

Murty had waited three decades to see Scotland play in the World Cup. Watching the Scottish team compete in the tournament was “the dream of a lifetime,” the fundraising page said.

Oram McGonagle, who owns The Dubliner, said he was at the pub when Murty collapsed. He said he saw a Scottish fan with an oxygen tube standing by a pillar outside the building. McGonagle said employees called an ambulance when they realized he needed help.

Caitlin McLaughlin, public relations director for Boston EMS, confirmed that medics took a patient from The Dubliner to an area hospital around 4:30 p.m. that day.

McGonagle later learned from a media report that Murty had died.

The Dubliner has donated 1,000 pounds, or about $1,325, to the fundraiser.

“We had a really good few weeks with the Scottish people,” McGonagle said Monday. “This felt like a way to give some back to them.”

Murty is the second Scottish soccer fan known to have died in Boston while visiting for the World Cup tournament. Donny Strathie, 76, died June 14 after collapsing in a hotel in Norwood. Fans paid tribute to Strathie in the 76th minute of Scotland’s game against Morocco in Foxborough on June 19.

About 2,800 people have donated more than $85,000 to the GoFundMe campaign set up for Murty’s family, as of Monday afternoon.
