A man accused of beating two women with a metal rod is indicted by a grand jury.
24-year old William Kirkland of Williamsburg is charged with first-degree assault, theft by unlawful taking and first-degree criminal mischief.
Kirkland is accused of severely beating both his grandmother and wife last month over a set of car keys.
Police say Kirkland was mad because his grandmother would not let him use her car.
Both women were hospitalized.
Kirkland is scheduled back in court on December 14th.
