Man Charged in Stabbing Near Brighton Music Venue: What You Need to Know

A Boston man is facing charges for stabbing another man outside of a Brighton music hall earlier this month, officials announced Wednesday. Collin Hullum, 36, accused of stabbing a man multiple times after a concert, was arraigned Tuesday and is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing Friday, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement.

Details of the Incident

At 2:34 a.m. on Dec. 1, Boston police responded to Roadrunner at 89 Guest St. for a report of a stabbing. At the scene, Boston EMS reportedly treated a 26-year-old victim for five stab wounds on his back area. Authorities said a verbal argument between the victim’s group and three unidentified men inside the foyer of the Warrior Ice Arena at 90 Guest St. can be seen on a surveillance video. One of the men, later identified as Hullum, allegedly struck the victim before the victim fled while appearing to clutch his back.

Authorities also found a TikTok video of Hullum seen holding a knife, according to prosecutors. Witnesses said the fight started because Hullum’s sister cut the line at a bar and was confronted, the district attorney’s office said. She allegedly told Hullum she was assaulted. The surveillance video shows Hullum walking to his car after the stabbing and driving away at 2:46 a.m, prosecutors said.
