CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) The Boston surgeon who left a patient on the operating table for 35 minutes while he went to cash a check was arrested Tuesday and charged with raping a 15-year-old boy.
Dr. David C. Arndt will be arraigned Wednesday in Cambridge District Court on three counts of child rape and indecent assault and battery on a person over 14.
Police said Arndt picked up the alleged victim in Cambridge Sept. 5 and sexually assaulted him several times in his car. The incident was reported to police Monday.
According to police, the boy and Arndt did not know each other prior to the alleged incident.
The state Board of Medicine suspended Arndt for leaving a spinal fusion operation at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge on July 10. The patient, Charles Algeri, 45, of Waltham, was under anesthesia and had an incision in his back at the time.
Arndt was suspended by the hospital the day after the operation.
