Police say they worked to identify the suspect as 65-year-old James Cornish. He was then located, and taken into custody, before being charged with first and second degree assault, dangerous weapon with intent to injure, and reckless endangerment, according to authorities.

Cornish is now reportedly being held at the Dorchester County Detention Center on a temporary containment.
