Charlie Borno, a Brookline High School Senior, was charged with Attempted Armed Robbery and Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon for an incident this past Saturday that left one person suffering from a knife wound.

According to the Brookline Police and the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office, Borno and at least two others made plans to rob a group of people, pretending to buy marijuana from them. Borno is alleged to have been sitting in a car when the others abruptly opened the victim's passenger side doors and demanded money. One of the men was armed with a knife and ended up inflicting a deep wound to the hands of one of the occupants.

Brookline Police report that the victims were able to describe the suspects, including Borno, who was later arrested in his cousin's home. He was arraigned this past Monday in Brookline District Court and charged with Attempted Armed Robbery and Assault & Battery by Means of a Dangerous Weapon.
