Eastern black nightshade - solanum ptychanthum. I get a terrible rash if I come into contact with the plant. It never grew in my yard until 1989 when Hurricane Hugo blew through Charleston, SC.

It looks aa if it might be of the nightshade family; some of them are very toxic and some are our usual vegetables. However this one is definitely not a common vegetable, and I should think it is poisonous.

It looks as if it belongs to the nightshade family which includes our common potato and tomato. Other plants in this family are highly toxic. I would get rid of it.

Can't remember the name, but it is a weed. Pull it. If a child or pet eat the berries at very least would get sick.

I believe this "weed" is called a Black Nightshade.
There are several species of "Nightshade" plants and some people say they are edible but most gardeners say they are poisonous.

What to do with it would depend on whether you have pets or children around and if it does not suit your taste in garden "plants". Remove or let live?

You do not say how long the plant has been in this location, or if it dies back each year, or if it has blooms so true identification would/will be difficult.

Just a guess - here are a couple of extension service sites that have something similar to your plant:
