Husband, Wife Facing Charges in Alleged Racial Assault on Diners at Boston Restaurant, DA Says
Prosecutors say the couple sprayed patrons, threw fence pieces and used racial slurs, and a judge set bail at $750 each.
- Arielle Raso, 37, and Gregory Raso, 39, face civil rights and assault charges after an alleged racial attack on diners at Tertulias Cafe in East Boston on Monday, prosecutors said.
- Police initially responded to a 6:45 p.m. noise complaint from the Rasos on Monday, advising them to call back if disturbances continued past 11 p.m., but officers returned at 8:30 p.m. for a reported assault.
- The Rasos allegedly told Hispanic victims to "get out of this country" while spraying them with a hose and throwing a piece of shared fence that struck a child, according to prosecutors.
- East Boston Judge Debra DelVecchio arraigned the couple on Tuesday, setting bail at $750 each and ordering them to have no contact with victims or any restaurant patrons.
- Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden condemned the "vile racial rhetoric" involved in the incident, with the Rasos scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing on July 28.
