Man Arrested and Charged in Cambridge E‑Scooter Hit‑and‑Run That Injured 12‑Year‑Old

The arrest ends a public manhunt and sends the case toward a pretrial hearing in September.

Overview

  • Police arrested Jayson Wilson at a home in Everett and arraigned him in Cambridge District Court on multiple charges including assault and battery with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury.
  • Court documents show Wilson pleaded not guilty and was held at the Middlesex Jail on $30,000 bail pending a pretrial hearing set for Sept. 18.
  • Authorities say the July collision on Vassar Street seriously injured a 12-year-old girl after the scooter rider allegedly struck her and fled the scene.
  • Investigators identified the suspect after releasing a photo and seeking public help, and an arrest warrant was issued before Monday’s arrest.
  • The case now moves into the criminal process with prosecutors from the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office working the investigation while the victim and her family continue to recover.
