A man who was allegedly pushed into the Charles River has died and the man accused of pushing him in is expected in court Wednesday for a charge of manslaughter.
Massachusetts State Police arrested 27-year-old Lenny Quintero-Flores, of Malden, Tuesday.
Investigators say the two men were drinking alcohol on a dock and the victim was sleeping or passed out when Quintero-Flores allegedly pushed the victim, 26-year-old Mitchell Harrison of Watertown, into the water intentionally.
Harrison was rescued from the water and was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he later died.
