Officer Daniel Hunt, 27, was charged with assault and battery, while Ian Salerno, 29, of Philadelphia, faces aggravated assault and battery charges for the confrontation, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
The melee began after the two alleged assailants visited a Boylston Street eatery among a larger group and encountered Boston College hockey player Kevin Lohan, who is the cousin of actress Lindsay Lohan, according to Boston media reports.
Hunt, who was off-duty, allegedly pushed the 6-foot-5, 217-pound hockey player before the confrontation reportedly escalated.
"As members of both groups attempted to break up the fight, Salerno allegedly came behind the victim and punched him in the jaw, knocking him to the floor," the District Attorney's Office said in a statement.
