Martin Vigil, 48, driving a 1997 Audi A4, faces charges of misdemeanor assault, leaving the scene of an accident, criminal damage to property and a minor traffic infraction, reports DNAinfo.

“Everything you’ve been told is a lie. That’s all I can tell you,” Vigil told reporter Benjamin Woodard. “I called 911. He punched out my windows. He was trying to kill me. I was defending myself.”
