Man charged with attempted murder after he was caught trying to drown a 21 year old man on crutches

A angry boomer charged with attempted murder after he was caught trying to drown a 21 year old man on crutches.

The incident occurred in June 2026 at Sandy Beach on Lake Maspenock in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.

Dana reportedly confronted Duffy and his friends over access to the town’s beach and boat ramp. Dana claimed the young men were not Hopkinton residents and therefore were not permitted to use the area.

The Altercation: Bystander video captured the argument escalating physically. Police state that Dana attacked the young man—who was unable to defend himself effectively due to his injuries and crutches—slapping him, grabbing him, and holding his head under the water.

Dana was arrested and charged with attempted murder along with other assault charges. Police issued a public statement urging residents to contact law enforcement to enforce local bylaws rather than resorting to vigilantism or violent confrontations.
