Winchester Man Arrested After Punching Pizzeria Window, Kicking Watertown Police Officer

A Winchester man, upset by the price of a slice of pizza, broke a window at Pizza Roma on Waverley Avenue and then attacked a police officer when he was confronted.

The man, identified as Thiago F. Carvalho, allegedly went into Pizza Roma on Oct. 15 at 5:27 p.m. to ask how much a slice of pizza cost, said Watertown Police Lt. Michael Lawn.

"Apparently he came in and asked how much piece of pizza and when he was told he punched the window," Lawn said.

The man then ran away from the pizzeria.

"We got a call from the owner of Pizza Roma reporting that a person had just puinched his window, breaking the window," Lawn said.

The store owner was chasing Carvalho down the street when police arrived, and then the man turned on the police officer.

"(Carvalho) began yelling at the officer, threw a punch at officer's head and kicked the officer's leg with his boot," Lawn said

Carvalho, 22, of 75R Church St. in Winchester, was arrested on charges of assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon - a shod foot, resisting arrest and malicious destruction of property worth more than $250, Lawn said.
