HOPKINTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A Hopkinton man accused of assaulting and attempting to drown a Milford man appeared in court on Monday.
Police say 51-year-old Steven Dana tried to kill 21-year-old Matthey Duffy at a Hopkinton beach in June.
Duffy says Dana was mad he and his friends were jet-skiing in the lake.
Duffy, who had pre-existing injuries due to a motorcycle accident, declined medical attention.
Monday marks Dana’s first court appearance since being indicted by a grand jury.
During a court appearance in June, the judge said Dana was not a threat to the public, and he was released on bail.
Dana faces attempted murder, strangulation, and assault and battery charges. He pleaded not guilty.
