A 25-year-old Braintree man is in jail on a $100,000 cash bond after authorities say he stabbed a man outside a Shaw Street residence early Sunday morning, the Patriot Ledger reported.
Si. D. Tran was slated for arraignment on Monday in Quincy District Court, where he faces charges of assault with intent to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and resisting arrest.
The 24-year-old victim was taken to South Shore Hospital in Weymouth. The defendant was treated for injuries at the same hospital.
Under Massachusetts Law (Chapter 265 Section 18), assault with intent to murder carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. An experienced Quincy criminal defense lawyer will need to carefully review the case and determine the best course of action, which could include establishing a case for self-defense, challenging evidence, and/or seeking a reduction in charges.
Police were waved down by a friend of the alleged victim, who reported the man had been stabbed by a suspect who was chased into a Somerville Avenue home. Police used a K-9 dog to locate Tran in the basement of the residence, where he reportedly refused to comply with orders to surrender.
Two of the victim's friends told police that the three were heading to a Shaw Street residence when they saw Tran walking his bicycle. The victim reportedly said something that caused Tran to make a gesture. The victim then got out of the car and exchanged words with Tran, who left the area.
Police report that Tran later returned to the man's home with a knife and long screwdriver. The victim was stabbed during an ensuing altercation.
