BROCKTON A Holbrook man was charged after police said he attacked and robbed a Brockton man using stolen sausage links and a wrench at West Street and Forest Avenue Sunday morning. The victim told police he was riding his bike about 8 a.m. Sunday when Michael A. Baker, whom he does not know, came up to him “and started swinging sausage links at him,” Lt. David Dickinson said Sunday.Baker then threw stolen meat, bread and cheese he was carrying into a nearby barrel “and began smashing the victim with a wrench,” Dickinson said.


Listen everybody knows when you do outdoor activities in Brockton you got to keep your head on a swivel.   Can’t just be daydreaming without a care in the world. You never know what’s gonna happen.   One second you’re enjoying the beautiful weather and the next second somebody is swinging a sausage link at you and beating you with a wrench.  It happens.   So really this guy has nobody to blame but himself.   Like how do you let yourself get ambushed like this when you’re on a bike?   Just pedal away from the guy swinging the sausage at you.   Doesn’t seem overly complicated to me.
