NJ Cop Busted For Beating Up Lindsay Lohan's Cousin (Video)

A video captured the brawl between the New Jersey cop and Lindsay Lohan's cousin.

Two men, including a New Jersey Police officer, were indicted this week for beating up a Boston College Hockey Player who happens to be actress Lindsay Lohan's cousin, according to authorities.

A video captured the Massachusetts brawl that sent Kevin Lohan to the hospital and sidelined him for the rest of the season with serious injuries.

A Suffolk County, Mass. grand jury on Tuesday returned indictments charging a Haddon Heights off-duty police officer Daniel Hunt, 27, of Barrington with assault and battery and Ian Salerno, 29, of Philadelphia with aggravated assault and battery in connection with a fight at a Domino's Pizza in the Fenway area.

According to prosecutors, Hunt and Salerno were among a group visiting Boston for a gathering that lasted into the early morning hours of Jan. 19, when they arrived at a Domino's on Boylston Street.

Lohan, a graduate student and defenseman on the Boston College hockey team, then 24 and a resident of Chestnut Hill at the time, was also at the restaurant with a separate group. He was identified as Lindsay's cousin by Boston.com.

Hunt confronted and then allegedly pushed the victim, starting a physical altercation. As members of both groups attempted to break up the fight, Salerno allegedly came behind Lohan and punched him in the jaw, knocking him to the floor, according to authorities.

That hit sent Lohan to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he underwent surgery. As a result of the blow, the hockey player's jaw had to be wired shut for three weeks and permanent metal plates were implanted in his jaw and cheek.

Boston College said in a statement he was out indefinitely. The Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. native had skated in 14 games for Boston College until then. Lohan transferred to BC following a four-year stint at the University of Michigan, where he was an assistant captain as a senior. Lohan played in 64 games in Ann Arbor, Mich. and had one year of eligibility remaining after redshirting his junior season.

Boston Police reviewed security camera footage and a receipt from the nearby bar where Hunt, Salerno, and others had been drinking before the fight, photos from social media, witness statements, and other evidence to identify Hunt and Salerno, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley's office.

Hunt and Salerno face arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court on Aug. 1.
