The Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports on his bail (no longer releasing his name even though it's pretty public at this point), set at arraignment in juvenile session of Dorchester District Court today and says:

The juvenile is charged with 10 counts of delinquency for the Dorchester offenses. Specifically, he is charged delinquent, to wit: two counts of armed assault with intent to murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, four counts of assault and battery, and two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Prosecutors say the juvenile used a kitchen knife to stab and slash a female family member, age 51, multiple times in the throat, arm, and hand shortly after 8:15 p.m. on Feb. 3. He also allegedly slashed a 17-year-old female family member in the face. A 29-year-old female and a 6-year-old female, also family members, suffered less serious injuries. None of the victims’ injuries were life-threatening.

He's to be arraigned tomorrow in Chelsea District Court for arraignment on charges related to the Revere incident.

In a statement, DA Dan Conley said:

We can only imagine what happened in that home, but the victims lived through it. What they experienced must have been terrifying. The bail is high, and appropriately so - this was one violent crime followed by a second violent crime while the defendant was on the run.

You frittered away most of your allotted punctuation in your subject line, and so didn't have enough left for the body of your text.
