Cape man accused of beating Yankees fan

FALMOUTH, Mass. -- A Cape Cod man faces charges for allegedly beating another man with a baseball bat because he thought he was a New York Yankees fan.

Authorities say 20-year-old Robert Correia is scheduled to be arraigned today in Falmouth District Court on charges of assault and battery with a deadly weapon and malicious destruction to a motor vehicle.

Police say Saturday night's alleged incident occurred when Correia and others spotted a car with New York license plates leaving Falmouth's fireworks display.

The group accused the man, whose children were in the car, of being a Yankees fan, then beat him and vandalized his car. The man, whose name was not released, was treated at Falmouth Hospital with non-life threatening injuries to his head and body.

The incident is under investigation and others may be charged.

This is someone who should be locked up forever. No value to society whatsoever.

The N.Y. license plate was just an excuse to beat up on someone. If it were not that, it would have been to beat someone else for some other reason. These sickos belong in a cage.

lock him up. i agree it was just an excuse - and with the guys kids in the car - how sad. i recently had 3 guys (18-20) in an suv harrassing me as i jogged alone on my street. 20 years ago it would have ended up a big mess, this time i laughed and jogged on.
