Cape men charged with threatening man with a gun in Theater District garage

Boston Police report arresting two men from Hyannis on charges they used a gun loaded with ten bullets to threaten somebody in an altercation in the Tufts Medical Center garage on Tremont Street early Sunday.

Police say Igor Caldiera, 24, and Euddyvandro Castro, 21 approached a third man in the garage and wanted to fight him, around 1:20 a.m.

Castro was charged with assault and battery, assault by means of a dangerous weapon and improper storage of a firearm, police say. Caldiera was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition, police say,
