Ceserino Borelli of Watertown was arraigned on Tuesday in Chelsea District Court on charges of negligent operation a motor vehicle, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, and speeding. Judge Kareem Morgan ordered Borelli to be held on $7,500 bail, according to the report by NBC 10 Boston.

At about 8 p.m. on Father’s Day, the girl was walking through a parking lot on Beacham Street in Chelsea to meet her family when she was struck, according to NBC 10 Boston.
