Darien Police: Female Says Man Just Charged With Attempted Murder Tried to Get Her, Too
|
After New Canaan police announced the arrest of a man who, they said, hit a pedestrian with his car and then tried to drown her, a female in Darien told police here that the man looked just like the driver who hit her last month as she was running on Hollow Tree Ridge Road. New Canaan police said: Mynor Romeo Alvarado-Canahui, 31, of Norwalk was driving a red Honda Civic in New Canaan late Monday afternoon when he crossed to the left side of the road and struck a woman, then dragged her down a nearby embankment and tried to drown her. Witnesses stopped him and rescued the woman. When the Darien female saw the Alavarado-Canahui’s arrest photo, she recognized him as the man driving a red Honda Civic that struck her from behind with its side-view mirror as she was running north in the southbound lane of Hollow Tree Ridge Road back on April 19. She was running on Hollow Tree Ridge Road near its intersection with Camp Avenue, she said.
