Car Crashes Into Escondido Subway; Driver Arrested

ESCONDIDO, CA – A 22-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after she intentionally crashed her car into an Escondido sandwich shop and attempted to fight one of the employees, police said.

It happened shortly after 12:45 a.m. at the Subway store at 2411 East Valley Parkway, Escondido police Sgt. Ryan Banks said.

The 22-year-old woman crashed her Honda sedan into the restaurant before getting out of the car and attempting to fight one of the two employees inside the location, Banks said.

Officers responded to the area and arrested the woman, whose named was not immediately released, inside the store on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Banks said.

The two employees were uninjured in the incident, but the woman was transported to Palomar Medical Center for evaluation of a complaint of pain to her wrist, Banks said.

Investigators believe the woman was involved in a prior altercation with one of the employees, but police did not disclose the nature of the confrontation or how the two knew each other.
