A 28 year old East Hartford man assaulted police officers following a traffic accident.
According to police, Joshua Suarez of Hartford, who has 51 previous arrests, crashed his unregistered car into a Jeep at Broad and Mountford streets. Inside the Jeep was Edgar Burgos, an off duty Hartford police officer.
Burgos, approached the car and told Suarez not to drive off. Suarez swore at the officer and drove onto the sidewalk, then got out of the car and started swearing at Burgos again. Burgos called for backup and Suarez fled in his vehicle.
