The incident occurred on Tuesday when the 28-year-old suspect, later named as William Rodriguez, pulled into the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru at 704 Foxon Road in East Haven, Connecticut at 7:44 p.m parked his vehicle. directly in front of the victim’s car while waiting at the drive-thru window,” said a statement from the East Haven Police Department released Tuesday.

“He then exited his vehicle, entered the victim’s car through the passenger door and demanded her keys. When the victim refused, Rodriguez began beating her. The victim managed to escape and ran into Dunkin Donuts to seek help,” authorities said.

A Dunkin’ Donuts employee who witnessed the attack immediately alerted two male employees, who then, police said, “rushed outside where they confronted Rodriguez, who was having difficulty operating the victim’s vehicle.”

The two male Dunkin’ Donuts employees managed to get Rodriguez out of the car and pinned him to the ground until police arrived, law enforcement said.

“Upon officer arrival, Rodriguez was taken into custody after a brief struggle. While receiving medical attention from an East Haven Fire Department paramedic, Rodriguez bit the paramedic’s hand,” authorities said. “Rodriguez was subsequently transported to Yale New Haven Hospital where he remained under guard until he was transported to the East Haven Police Department for processing.”

It was later discovered that the vehicle Rodriguez was driving, a 2016 Hyundai Elantra, had been reported stolen in New Haven. The New Haven Police Department responded to the scene and took the vehicle into custody for further investigation.

Rodriguez now faces a slew of charges, including breach of peace, assault on emergency medical personnel, third-degree robbery, second-degree reckless endangerment, assault on a pregnant person, third-degree assault, obstructing an officer and two counts of theft of a motor vehicle.

Rodriguez is now being held on a $250,000 bond on these charges, as well as several outstanding warrants totaling $475,000, as well as two outstanding warrants from CSP Troop A and Troop I.

East Haven police said they commended “the quick and courageous actions of Dunkin Donuts employees who helped bring this dangerous situation under control.”

Rodriguez is now awaiting arraignment and the investigation is ongoing.
