FRAMINGHAM – Police arrested a Framingham man at Margarita’s restaurant on Sunday morning, October 17, and charged him with a hate crime, and multiple count of assault & battery on a security guard and police officers.

Police were called to the 725 Cochituate Road Mexican restaurant at 1 a.m. for a disorderly patron who was disturbing the peace and fighting with the security guard, according to police.

When police arrived the man was “fighting with staff and one security guard and while hitting and kicking at the black security guards he used the N-word and racial slurs, thus what triggered the hate crime charge,” said Framingham Deputy Police Chief Sean Riley.
