Machete suspect faces arraignment

A Worcester man accused of using a machete to kill another man in what appears to be a landlord/tenant dispute faces arraignment.

Daniel Harrigan faces a murder charge when he is arraigned Monday in Worcester District Court.

Police say officers responding to a report of two men fighting in front of a Douglas Street home just after midnight Saturday saw the 24-year-old Harrigan standing over the victim and hitting him with a machete.

Police arrested Harrigan after ordering him at gunpoint to drop the weapon.

Emergency workers rushed 29-year-old Kodjo Abbey to the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester where he was pronounced dead.

Police say Harrigan's father owns the building and Abbey was a tenant.
