Teen Charged in Attack on 60-Year-Old Man in Trumbull

Trumbull police have arrested a teen in connection with the attack of a man in Twin Brooks Park last month.

Police said they have been investigating since the Nov. 24 attack when a 60-year-old Trumbull man was attacked at Twin Brooks Park and dragged into the road.

Police said a man who did not say anything punched the victim in the head and knocked him to the ground. Then two other men got out of the car and kicked the victim as he was on the ground and demanded money, police said.

The victim said he didn’t have money and the attackers pushed him into the road before they drove off toward Franklin Street, police said.

The victim was able to get a partial license plate as the car drove off and police have arrested 18-year-old Cristofer Fuentes-Salguero who they said was driving. Police are looking to identify the two accomplices.

Fuentes-Salguero turned himself in at the Trumbull Police Department after he learned that there was a warrant for his arrest.

He was charged with robbery in the second degree, larceny in the second degree and assault in the second degree of an elderly person.

He was held on $150,000 bond and is scheduled to appear to court on Dec. 10.

Trumbull Police are asking anyone who has information about the attack to call 203-261-3665 or use the anonymous and confidential tip line on the police department website: trumbull-ct.gov/policetips.
