Boston Man Charged After Assaulting Neighbor over Delivery Package, DA Says
Khalil Muhammad, 29, faces assault and unarmed robbery charges after punching a 77-year-old neighbor over a misdelivered Amazon package, Suffolk County officials said.
- On Dec. 22, police responded to an assault at 730 Cummins Highway, where Khalil Muhammad, 29, was charged with assault and battery on a person over 60 and unarmed robbery after a 77-year-old male neighbor was allegedly beaten.
- The victim told police his Amazon package had been mistakenly delivered to Muhammad's apartment, and prosecutors say Muhammad punched him and tore his $700 Motorola phone from his hand when he tried to retrieve it.
- Responding officers found the victim badly beaten with eyes swollen shut and a bleeding cut, and prosecutors say Khalil Muhammad followed him upstairs, continuing the assault.

- Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said escalating a package dispute into violence is intolerable, calling the attack on an elderly victim `particularly egregious` days before Christmas.
