SAN LORENZO, CA — A man who is accused of driving his vehicle toward four women during a family holiday party last month has been charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office said Monday.
Leandro Angelo Torres, 31, was a family gathering on Nov. 25 in San Lorenzo. According to the sheriff's office, Torres was asked to leave, which he did, but he later returned and allegedly attacked his brother's car.
He is also suspected of driving his own vehicle toward four women standing in the street, one of whom became pinned between his car and a parked vehicle.
