HARTFORD, Conn. — A Manchester man is accused of trying to carjack three cars and a tractor-trailer on Interstate 84 East in Hartford after a crash on Friday morning. Some "good Samaritans" detained the suspect until state police stepped in to assist, according to troopers.
Around 9:45 a.m. Friday, state police received multiple 911 calls regarding a crash on I-84 east near Exit 46.
State police said Francisco Rosario, 45, tried to run from the scene and tried to get into three vehicles that were passing by.
Rosario then crossed onto the westbound side of I-84 and tried to get into a tractor-trailer truck.
Some good Samaritans had detained Rosario by the time troopers arrived on the scene. State police officers then placed Rosario in handcuffs and took him into custody. While in custody, Rosario was taken to a nearby hospital for an evaluation.
State police did not report any injuries.
Rosario was charged with four counts of attempt to commit carjacking and four counts of attempt to commit larceny, as well as four counts of evading the scene of a crash, one count of interfering with an officer, and reckless endangerment.
He was held on a $250,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
