A Roxbury man was slopped with a plate of pasta, punched, kicked, spit on and beaten with handbags by two women who told investigators they needed to “teach him a lesson” for not holding an elevator door for them, police said.

When Boston police arrived at 1050 Tremont St. late Saturday night to break up the lift tiff, they said they found noodles dripping off the back of Mohammed Warsame.

Kenyana McQuay, 27, and Waltia Funches, 28, told officers Warsame “was rude to them” because he didn’t hold the elevator door open as they walked into the building, and so “they had to use their fists, their bags and their feet to teach him a lesson.”

Police, who described McQuay and Funches as “extremely agitated,” “uncooperative” and “verbally abusive toward officers,” summonsed both women to Roxbury District Court on assault and battery charges.

Oh, look... Waltia Funches is also an anti-gay bigot: http://www.knowthyneighbor.org/thelist.php?searchValue=Funches&searchField=last_name&sortBy=last_name&sortDir=ASC&page=1&anchor=list#list

1. If they act like that, I wouldn't want to be on the same elvator with them.

3. It's about time someone took a stand for manners and etiquette

Although technically, you're only supposed to use your handbag to administer the lecture... :)

4. etiquette vigilantes

that could make a good TV show. They could drive around in a van like the A-team.

5. This makes me want to stop holding doors open for people.

How long can someone go before they start hitting back?

9. Ah, another fine example of the Republican party

Imagine if the man had only spoken Spanish. They'd have beat him senseless with their Versace bags and diamond necklaces.

10. He was gentlemanly enough to not hit them back...

Which is far, FAR more gentlemanly than I would have been in that situation.

11. I would've clunked their two heads together like Moe did to Larry and Curly.

Then I would have rolled them onto the elevator, hit the button for the basement and taped a note to their head saying, "Happy now?"

12. Actually, he defended himself with a water bottle. Don't blame him. n/t
