Witnesses told me that a woman was assaulted during a carjacking on Beechwood Avenue. Her father rushed to her aid but was run over by the teenage carjackers as they fled the scene. Bridgeport Police confirmed that one person was assaulted and a pedestrian was struck. Both victims were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries—one suffered a broken leg, while the other sustained facial injuries.
