After Brady McCue had Thanksgiving dinner with his family Thursday at his sister’s Medford home, his father asked him to go home with him to New Hampshire, but McCue declined.

McCue, 28, who has battled mental health issues for years, had been discharged from Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport on Monday and had initially seemed fine, Harry McCue said in an interview Saturday, but by Thursday night he was starting to show signs of aggression. Harry McCue had started to drive with his son to his home in Merrimack, N.H., but turned around.

“I noticed a little bit of anger that he didn’t want to go to New Hampshire with me, so I calmly said, ‘Let’s head back,’ ” Harry McCue said. “Once we started heading [back to Medford], he wasn’t angry.”
