John Sabo, BU's third-leading scorer, is scheduled to be arraigned today in Brighton District Court on charges of assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot), and making threats against a fellow student at BU.  The charges stem from an incident that happened outside a Brighton bar last September.  The incident report said that the alleged victim, Christopher Boccuzzi, said he was assaulted by Sabo and six to eight others, including several other hockey players.  Boccuzzi's family says he has undergone two surgical procedures, one lasting 8½ hours.

Sabo apparently plans to file a cross-complaint at the arraignment, charging Boccuzzi with assault.

One commentator on the USCHO message board who says he has a good relationship with Sabo says he has an anger management problem.
