Ex-Gov. Michael Dukakis requires stitches after mishap picking up litter

[TexasTowelie]

Ex-Gov. Michael Dukakis recently shed some blood in his work for a better Boston.

The Boston Globe reports that Dukakis, now 83, was picking up litter in the city's Emerald Necklace last week when he suffered a fall that resulted in "a lot of blood."

"I reached down for a piece of litter and somehow tripped, falling flat on my face on the sidewalk," he told the Globe.

Dukakis has often been spotted cleaning up litter while walking through the 1,100-acre chain of parks. He typically walks through the area on his way to work at Northeastern University, where he serves as Distinguished Professor of Political Science.
