Overview
- The incident occurred Saturday near King's Beach in Swampscott as Jonathan Silveira walked to a 'No Kings' rally.
- Cellphone video recorded by Silveira’s girlfriend shows Curll kicking him from behind and grabbing him, which police say caused a fall.
- Curll contends he was struck in the face with a flagpole and identifies himself as the victim, a claim Silveira denies.
- A judge released Curll on personal recognizance with a stay-away order and a requirement to attend therapy after prosecutors sought cash bail.
- The next hearing is set for Dec. 2 in Lynn District Court, and Curll faces unrelated pending charges in Worcester, Dorchester, and Connecticut.
