Road Rage Arrest: Motorcyclist Charged

Police in East Haven nabbed a 28-year-old motorcyclist from North Bramford, named Sig Freito Torres after a nasty road rage beat down last week.

He's facing heavy charges like first-degree assault, reckless driving, and evading cops following an attack that left another driver with serious head, and face injuries.

The chaos kicked off on April 14th around Foxon Road and Green Street. Both guys were weaving wildly through traffic before pulling over for a fistfight.

Witnesses say Torres punched the victim repeatedly and even smashed him with his helmet once he was down.

That poor driver ended up on the pavement bleeding bad, got first aid right there, then rushed to Yale New Haven Hospital.

Folks nearby called 911, and the whole scene shook up the neighborhood real quick.

Cops chased Torres briefly into North Bramford after he bolted, but they lost him at first.

They dropped photos online and got tips from the public that nailed his identity fast.

Torres turned cooperative when detectives reached out, leading to his Thursday arrest at home.

He's out on a $150,000 bond now, with court coming up May 6th in New Haven, hoping this puts the brakes on more road rage.

Madness.
