Robbery, Burglary and a Man Said To Have Jumped from a Truck

A 24-year-old Norwalk man walking late at night in the area of Beau Street was struck in the head and robbed of his cell phone.

The incident occurred just before 12:44 a.m. Tuesday morning. The man told police he was struck from behind on the back of his leg, he thought by a passing car, and he fell to the ground.

He recalled a male then hitting him on the side of the neck with what he thought was a bottle. The victim then fell to the ground a second time and covered his head to protect himself. The person who hit him then took his Verizon LG cell phone and, he thinks, got into the car.

Police said the victim had a red mark on the side of his neck, and they did find a broken bottle on Beau Street, where the incident may have occurred.

Man reportedly jumps from a truck on Interstate 95

The passenger of a tractor-trailer on Interstate 95 jumped from the vehicle at about 3:55 p.m. Monday, according to the Norwalk Fire Department, which responded to the scene along with police and an ambulance.

The man appeared to be disoriented, and it wasn't clear if he had been struck by another motor vehicle. State Police questioned the driver of the vehicle and witnesses.

The man was driven to Norwalk Hospital by an ambulance, with a firefighter driving it so that both emergency medical technicians could attend to the man. A Norwalk Fire Department engine, rescue vehicle and command car responded to the report.
