Add to My HeroesPatrick J. Kelliher
Patrolman Patrick Kelliher succumbed to wounds received four months earlier when he was beaten by a group of men at the Quincy Square Station. He had responded to a report of a gang of rowdy men on a train and he had arrested the main instigator. As he pulled the man to nearest call box the rest of the group attacked two other citizens before attacking Patrolman Kelliher. He was able to turn his call box key to the emergency position before being knocked to the ground and severely kicked and beaten. The group of men fled as backup units arrived on a patrol wagon. Patrolman Kelliher complained of severe stomach pains and succumbed to internal bleeding four months later.
Patrolman Kelliher had served with the agency for four years. He was survived by his wife.
