MILFORD, MA — Good afternoon and welcome to October. The weather across the region will remain fall-like over the next few days with sun and cooler temperatures.

In Milford, a 49-year-old man has been arrested for the second time over the last year for threatening people with a bladed weapon.

This time, he threatened neighbors with an axe before being arrested by multiple police officers. Last October, he stormed through the downtown area with a hatchet. As he bled from a cut on his face, he chased a group of people gathered at a house party, according to police.
