The victims were leaving the parking lot after celebrating a friend’s birthday.

A 24-year-old Brookline man suffered a concussion, a separated shoulder, chipped teeth, a hand injury and numerous cuts and bruises. A 22-year-old man from East Greenwich, RI and a 23-year-old from Warwick, RI each suffered head and facial injuries. A 24-year-old Boston woman also suffered a hand injury. The assailants fled prior to the police arrival, but a video of the brawl helped identify the suspects.
