State Police: Homeless Encampment Started Fire Under Mass. Ave. Bridge

New England Patriots fans are not thrilled with a now viral video that shows the team’s mascot, Pat Patriot, being tackled to the ground by New York Jets safety Jamal Adams. Adams, who got a running start, leveled the Patriots’ mascot Wednesday at the NFL Pro Bowl In Florida. The Jets player posted the video on Twitter saying, “This one is for every Patriots hater out there. I got y’all.” No one can be seen helping Pat Patriot up before the video pans away, and then Adams can be seen laughing with his teammates.

A large fire that started at a homeless encampment under the Boston-side of the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge shut down the structure for a couple of hours on Thursday.

Photos of the scene showed heavy smoke and multiple units responding to the blaze.

No injuries were reported in the fire.

Officials tweeted a warning of the closure just after 11:05 a.m. Storrow Drive reopened around 11:30 a.m.; however, the bridge remained closed in both directions until it could be inspected by MassDot engineers.

Just before 1 p.m., state police said the bridge had reopened with one lane open in each direction.
