A Randolph man faces a variety of charges for an incident at a Cambridge car-rental garage that allegedly ended with him slamming a crescent wrench into the head of a Cambridge police officer Monday afternoon.
Cambridge District Court Judge Cara Krysil ordered Nicholas Perkins, 42, ordered held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing on March 10, court records show. Krysil also ordered Perkins sent to Bridgewater State Hospital for competency testing.
According to Cambridge Police, an officer was dispatched to Enterprise Rent-a-Car on New Street shortly after 4:20 p.m. on a report of a disturbance.
Perkins and the officer got into a fight and Perkins "swung a crescent wrench at a Cambridge Police Officer causing seriously bodily injury."
Perkins was charged with assault and battery on a police officer causing serious bodily injury, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, threatening to commit a crime and vandalism, records show.
Innocent, etc.

Have ordered him held without bail if he had attacked a civilian?
Hopefully. Isn't that what

Hopefully. Isn't that what you would want if someone with a wrench came after you?
I've never seen someone
