  • Willy Medina, 18, was arrested Friday and arraigned on one felony assault count in the May 19 stabbing at Narragansett Town Beach.
  • Three people suffered minor stab wounds when officers responded to reports of violence as hundreds of teenagers crowded the beach and then fled in panic.
  • Narragansett police have not said how investigators linked Medina to the attack, and authorities have disclosed no motive.
  • Medina was already out on bail in a separate case alleging weapons and gun-related offenses, including carrying a pistol without a license.
  • The stabbing unfolded amid broader disorder at the beach; two other adults were arrested on simple assault, resisting arrest and obstruction charges that police said were unrelated.
