A young driver who really wanted his car back is facing serious charges in Massachusetts after being arrested twice in one day.

State Police said troopers arrested 19-year-old Diogo Silva of Medford Thursday for driving with a suspended license. His car was then towed to Boston.

Several hours later, they said Silva went to the tow yard in Charlestown to get it.

"When the tow company refused to release the car, the suspect attempted to drive the vehicle off the lot. The operator struck and injured two employees in their 50s before fleeing the scene," State Police spokesman Tim McGuirk said in a statement Friday.

Silva's car was later found in Medford and troopers eventually tracked him down and arrested him again.

Silva faces several charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, negligent operation of motor vehicle, and leaving the scene of personal injury.  

A plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf at his arraignment in Somerville District Court Friday afternoon.

The prosecutor said Silva, "showed at the very least, a willful recklessness for the safety and lives of other human beings, accelerating straight through and making contact with at least two individuals."

The prosecutor said one of the victims was taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries. 

A judge set bail at $5,000 with conditions that Silva stay away from the alleged victims and the tow yard. His next court date has been scheduled for December 12.
