Yandri Hernandez, a 24-year-old from Somerville, was ordered held without bail on charges of kidnapping a child, strangulation or suffocation and assault and battery ahead of a dangerousness hearing Friday.
"This is a terrifying incident for anyone, particularly for a teenager simply enjoying an outing with a friend at a popular destination.
