After his arrest Wednesday, Hunt was taken to the Brookline police station, where he offered police "minimal" cooperation, according to David O'Laughlin, a spokesperson for the Brookline Police Department (BPD).
O'Laughlin said police took Hunt to Beth Israel Hospital for psychiatric evaluation in a police-escorted ambulance.
After an examination raised questions about Hunt's mental condition, doctors determined he should remain in the unit for more observation. He will remain there until doctors say he is mentally fit to take part in a legal hearing, O'Laughlin said.
After the initial evaluation, police notified the Brookline District Court that Hunt would not appear for arraignment yesterday morning, O'Laughlin said.
A hospital spokesperson confirmed yesterday that Hunt remains at Beth Israel in stable condition, but declined further comment.
When the arraignment takes place, charges will be read and explained to Hunt, and he will be assigned a court date.
In addition to the armed assault charge, Hunt is accused of resisting arrest, failing to stop for a police officer, operating a vehicle to endanger, speeding more than 20 miles per hour over the limit and failing to stop for a red light.
