Prosecutors Say Man Hit Another Man With Hammer Several Times
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Two people charged in connection with a hammer attack in Manchester were arraigned on Thursday.
Police said that Adalid Ortiz, 27, struck a man with a hammer several times on June 19 at an apartment on Union Street. The man, Gustavo Hernandez was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Ortiz was arraigned on a charge of first-degree assault.
Also arraigned Tuesday was Mary Barnes, who prosecutors said told Ortiz that he had to flee after a person in the apartment called 911. Barnes was charged with hindering apprehension.
Witnesses told police that Ortiz and Hernandez were arguing earlier in the evening, but prosecutors did not say what the argument was about.
Bail for Ortiz was set at $150,000. Prosecutors asked for high bail, saying that Ortiz is a threat to the community and he is not a U.S. citizen, making him a flight risk.
Bail for Barnes was set at $25,000. Both are due back in court on July 25.
