WATERTOWN, MASS. (WHDH) - Watertown police have arrested an armed robbery suspect accused of firing a gun inside of a hair salon on Wednesday.
Joseph Boyda, 44, of Worcester, was slated to be arraigned Friday in Waltham District Court on a charge of armed robbery while masked, according to the Watertown Police Department.
Officers responding to a reported shooting at Behind the Hair at 389 Main St. learned a man wearing a black ski mask had walked into the business around 7 p.m., fired a single shot in the air, and demanded money before fleeing on foot.
Police later recovered a shell casing left behind at the salon and determined that it was blank.
No one was injured during the incident.
