The Dedham man, who police believe kicked a man in the head during a fight after the Red Sox parade, has been arrested in the past on similar charges.
Kieran Boyle, now 21, was arrested in 2010 for being part of a mob that allegedly attacked a Walpole resident and his friend with a baseball bat in an apparent robbery attempt, according to Boston.com.
Boyle, age 18 at the time, was among five or six men who ambushed the 33-year-old Walpole man and another person back in 2010 as they returned from a walk to the store just after midnight.
