Wilton Police Arrest Norwalk Man for Assaulting Co-Worker

WILTON, CT — Police arrested a Norwalk man for assaulting a co-worker after an altercation at a car dealership last week.

Wilton police responded to a report of an assault at Bruce Bennett Nissan on 962 Danbury Road on Thursday around 4:25 p.m. Police say that reports from the victim and witnesses indicated that Francisco Serrano, 47, of Richards Avenue in Norwalk, thought the victim was talking about him behind his back, and retaliated.

Serrano placed his hands on the victim's neck in a choking manner and pushed him into a wall, causing damage to the wall, according to the police report. Serrano continued to strike the victim about the face and ribs with his fists and knees until employees intervened, and Serrano left the business, police said.

The victim was transported to Danbury Hospital by Georgetown EMS.

Police took Serrano into custody at about 5:20 p.m. at his home.

Serrano was processed at Wilton Police Headquarters and charged with first-degree unlawful restraint, second-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace. He was issued and met a $5,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on July 22.
