BOSTON—Two Rhode Island men have been charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct by Foxborough Police in connection with the recent death of a fan at a New England Patriots game.

John Vieira, 59, and Justin Mitchell, 39, both of Warwick, R.I., were charged earlier this month after investigators said they punched 53-year-old Dale Mooney, of Newmarket, New Hampshire.
