An Everett man struck a 23-year-old man in the face with an empty beer bottle July 28 in Somerville, police said.

James Alfeiri, 36, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and battery, armed assault to murder, furnishing a false name and witness intimidation after officers found him at 268C Powder House Boulevard with blood on his clothing and hands, police said.

The victim told police he was sitting in front of 1288 Broadway drinking beer with friends when Alfeiri and his nephew Mark Alfeiri, 21, of 633 Somerville Ave., started a verbal argument.

The Alfeiri’s fled after the fight, which left a large amount of the victim’s blood at the scene, police said.

Police found Mark Alfeiri at Broadway and Weston Avenue moments later with Joseph Flynn, 18, of 1370 Broadway. A search of Flynn revealed 15 pills, including some percocet, and four pennies from 1935 that police suspect could be stolen, police said.

Mark Alfeiri was arrested and charged with witness intimidation, armed assault to murder and aggravated assault and battery. Flynn was arrested and charged with possession to distribute a class C drug.
