A 39-year-old man allegedly held a teenage boy under water today in an altercation off a North Shore beach, but the victim declined to press charges.
The two were surfing when the man briefly held the 16-year-old boy under water about 5:30 p.m., police said.
Police initially opened a second-degree attempted murder investigation, but the case was closed after the victim withdrew his complaint.
