18-year-old appears in court for allegedly stabbing man with golf club shaft
An 18-year-old Beverly man faced a bevy of assault and motor vehicle charges Wednesday for allegedly stabbing another man with a golf club shaft in Wakefield before fleeing, prosecutors said.
Curtis Day was charged with armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, disorderly conduct, larceny of a motor vehicle, receiving a stolen motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle at his Malden District Court arraignment, according to a statement from Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office.
Prosecutors said Day stabbed another 18-year-old man in the neck with the metal golf club at the Breakheart Reservation in Wakefield at around 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Day, the victim, and one other man had allegedly taken “illicit substances” before a fight broke out, according to Ryan’s office.
The victim was taken to Beth Israel hospital and released, the DA’s office said.
Day allegedly stole a car from a nearby home and fled. A short time later, Wakefield police located Day after he allegedly drove and crashed the car, without a driver’s license.
He was held without bail pending a Friday dangerousness hearing.
