On June 23, 2024, I was patrolling area East 1 for the Somerville Police Department. At approximately 12:17 PM, multiple units responded to the area of Lower Broadway for a Hispanic male with a ponytail, green t-shirt, tan pants, and carrying a crow bar yelling at people.
Sgt. Vannostrand located the individual matching that description, later identified as Edwin Canales, in the bus stop near 161 Broadway. Due to the individuals on scene only speaking Spanish, Ofc. Campers provided translation.
One of the male parties on scene, later identified as XXXX, stated he was walking down Broadway heading towards Cross Street with his nine-year-old daughter and friend, XXXX, when Canales approached them in the area of 161 Broadway. Canales was holding a large metal crowbar type object in his hand and brandished it at XXXX while stating he was going to kill him. XXXX pulled XXXX daughter away while XXXX and Canales continued in a verbal altercation.
Canales then fled down Minnesota Ave. ditching the metal object somewhere before coming back to Broadway. Units searched the area, but could not come up with that object. The resident at 1 Minnesota Ave. has security cameras showing the incident and Canales fleeing down Minnesota Ave with a metal object in his hand approximately four feet long.
XXXX corroborated XXXX story. Another individual, XXXX, witnessed the incident and also corroborated XXXX' account of what happened.
Canales was placed under arrest for:
265/15B/A Assault with a Dangerous Weapon
275/2 Threats to Commit a Crime
He was transported by Unit #200, Ofc. Anaya, to Somerville Police Headquarters where he was booked by Lt. Capasso in the usual manner.
Two additional warrants were located for Canales.
Docket #1854CR00055
Docket #2410CR000197
Respectfully submitted,
Officer Christine Bork #327
