BOSTON (WHDH) - A 58-year-old Boston man is facing assault and battery and unarmed robbery on a person over 60 charges after he allegedly shoved a woman’s head into the ground and demanded money.
Boston police responding to reports of an assault inside a garage on Albany Street in the South End around 8 p.m. learned that Boston University Police had taken Tracy Johnson into custody, according to a release issued by the department.

She was taken to a hospital for the treatment of minor injuries.
