29-year-old Brendan Scott Murphy had an altercation with Alfredo Palma Sosa near a crosswalk of an intersection in the early hours of March 23rd. Sosa stated that he and his wife happened to step outside of the crosswalk. Upon seeing this, Murphy made a comment towards Sosa’s wife that he did not appreciate, so Sosa responded, “Do not speak to my wife like that.” The crossing guard allowed the pedestrians to cross the intersection, during which Murphy made another remark towards Sosa and his wife. Murphy then approached the couple from behind and punched Sosa behind his left ear. The punch caused swelling, bleeding, and bruising to Sosa’s head. Murphy was taken into custody for assault.
