A man has been arrested after being accused of strangling a woman and hurting a baby while at an Interstate 95 rest stop in Fairfield earlier this month. State police said the incident happened on Saturday, Dec. 7. An arrest warrant says a man had an argument with a mechanic over the phone, and a woman in the car with him tried to calm him down.
That’s when he got upset and started arguing with the woman, ultimately strangling her and smashing out her the car’s rear window, the warrant states. When the window shattered, shards of glass fell onto a one-month-old in the back seat, causing bleeding and cuts to its face, according to authorities.
