WESTFIELD - The man accused of accidentally shooting a 17-year-old in the lower leg on Christmas Day is being held without bail following his arraignment on Tuesday in Westfield District Court.

The Westfield News reports that Isac R. Hernandez, 24, is charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment of a child, possessing a firearm without an FID card and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building.

The police report states that Hernandez accidentally shot the teen in a Sackett Street apartment while "playing" with a .22 caliber handgun.

The Westfield News, citing court documents, said residents of the apartment were uncooperative with first responders and would not allow the victim to receive medical care "as they had removed the bullet" on their own.

The victim's identity is not being released due to his or her age.

Hernandez is due back in court Jan. 3.
