A Fall River, Massachusetts teenager is facing attempted murder charges and a dangerousness hearing after being accused of stabbing his girlfriend's brother multiple times, the Herald News reported.
Bail was refused at the request of prosecutors during his arraignment. A Fall River criminal defense attorney will need to represent him at a dangerousness hearing, set for March 31. A defense attorney argued at arraignment that multiple people were involved in the fight and no knife had been found.
Police were called shortly before 9:30 p.m. Thursday after several reports of a dozen young men and women fighting in the parking lot at 870 North Main St. While the fight was over when the first officers arrived, there was blood on the parking lot amid a crowd of teenagers.
Moments later, a 19-year-old called from a different location and police found him with knife wounds to his head, back and hands. The man told police his 15-year-old sister had been knocked down and kicked by the defendant, who is reportedly her boyfriend. He said knife wounds resulted form the ensuing fight.
After a radio bulletin seeking the defendant, he was located a short time later by Massachusetts State Troopers and was arrested and identified as the suspect in the stabbing, according to police reports.
