A Connecticut man has been arrested after allegedly assaulting a pregnant woman while attempting to steal her vehicle. 

The East Haven Police department released a statement Wednesday following a report of an attempted carjacking in a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru.  

The incident occurred on Tuesday, October 1 when William Rodriguez, 28, pulled into the parking lot directly in front of the victim’s car, according to authorities. 

Rodriguez then allegedly exited his vehicle and climbed into the passenger side of the woman’s car and demanded her keys. When she refused to surrender her keys, Rodriguez then began punching the woman, who was four months pregnant, before she could escape the vehicle and run inside the restaurant to seek help.

An employee working inside the drive-thru witnessed the assault and notified two coworkers, who then ran outside and restrained Rodriguez, who was attempting to flee in the victim’s vehicle, according to the police statement.

When officers arrived at the scene, Rodriquez continued to struggle and after being taken into custody he bit a medic’s hand.  

The vehicle in Rodriguez’s possession at the time of the assault, a 2016 Hyundai Elantra, had been reported stolen previously.
