Supposed Red Wings Fan Arrested For Throwing Octopus On Ice At TD Garden In Boston [VIDEO]
DETROIT (CBS Detroit) -- A man wearing a Detroit Red Wings sweater took part in a Detroit hockey tradition on Thursday night.
However, it is not a Boston tradition and that's what landed him in trouble.
As the Red Wings took on the Boston Bruins at TD Garden in Boston on Thursday night, 32-year-old Jeffrey Farrugia allegedly did as many Wings fans have done in the past -- he threw an octopus on the ice, according a police report obtained by the Boston Globe.
According to the report, the arresting officer saw Farrugia "walk down to the front row and throw what appeared to be an eight-legged creature." He was then placed into custody and removed from the arena, police said.
The Red Wings went on to lose the game, 5-2, but as the commentators in the video above said, Detroit does travel well.
