WALTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Police in Waltham say it was a “neighbor dispute” that led to an attack involving a machete last week, resulting in one person receiving a wound to the head, a pregnant victim being assaulted, and three arrests.
In an update, authorities described how officers were called to the area of 34 Hammond Street on Friday, July 14, for a report of a fight involving a machete.
First responders arrived to find at least one person there with a “deep head laceration,” according to the police department, which officials said was non-life-threatening.
Waltham PD officials said the victim was the only person struck by a machete, while two other individuals were assaulted while trying to stop the attack.
The police department said two males were arrested at the scene, while a third male was arrested two days later, on Sunday morning.
The arrested inviduals included:
- Osman Aguilar Borrayo, 27, of Waltham, who was charged with “Mayhem, Armed Assault w/Intent to Murder, Assault and Battery on a Pregnant Person (2nd victim – shoved), Assault & Battery (3rd victim – shoved)”
- Kevin Aguilar Borrayo, 21, of Waltham, who was charged with Mayhem
- Bryan Aguilar Borrayo, 19, of Waltham, who was also charged with just Mayhem.
“It appears this assault was a result of a neighbor dispute over a motor vehicle accident,” the Waltham Police Department stated in an update Monday morning. “There is believed to be no further threat to public safety as a result of this incident.”
All three suspects were slated to be arraigned in Waltham District Court on Monday.
