24-Year-Old Man Arrested For Beach Attack Using Hammer, Racial Slurs And Threats Against Police This guy was really on one… 24-year-old Gianpaolo Cerratani of Revere, MA was arraigned today in Chelsea District Court after being arrested Sunday at Revere Beach for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, civil rights violation, threats to commit a crime, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after attacking a group of Hispanic and African-American young men and teens (ranging in age from 16-20) with a hammer while yelling racial slurs. Witnesses say it all started when Cerretani took a football from a child and got upset after the group of teens and young men took the ball from him to give back to the kid — that’s when he started shouting racial slurs WHILE swinging a hammer. At least one person was hurt, an 18-year-old man from Lowell, who suffered minor injuries from being struck by the hammer but declined medical transport. The group managed to subdue Cerratani until police were called to the beach at around 4:20, but that’s when things only got worse… State Police said that, after Cerretani was cuffed, he continued to shout racial slurs and obscenities–and that he called one trooper a “pig” and said “I’ll take you too.” Cerretani, who was bleeding from several cuts to his head, was taken to Whidden Memorial Hospital in Everett for treatment. While there, police say he used a racial slur in addressing an African-American security guard. Police said Cerretani wouldn’t tell them where he got the hammer, which they said was recovered at the scene. SMH… Was he drunk? High? Mentally ill? Sounds crazy right? Shutterstock
