BOSTON (WBZ) ― There is more bad news for the Boston Fire Department.
Sources tell WBZ an off-duty firefighter was involved in a fight Tuesday evening that left a man in critical condition.
It happened in the parking lot at the Polish-American Club on River Street in Hyde Park.
Police were called there around 7:45 p.m. They found a 62-year-old man in cardiac arrest. He was rushed to Brigham and Women's Hospital. Investigators say he had "visible scrapes and abrasions to his face, and scrapes and abrasions to his hands and knees." His name has not been released.
Officers arrested off-duty firefighter Paul Nemes, 58, of Norwood, at the scene. He's charged with assault and battery. He will be arraigned in West Roxbury District Court Wednesday.
There has been no comment yet from the fire department, which has recently struggled with other firefighter arrests, a disability scandal, and the controversial deaths of two firefighters.
