According to CBS 12  in Providence, Police arrested a Dighton man accused of attacking two gas station employees in Auburn over the weekend. Officers responded to a gas station on Route 12 Sunday morning for reports of a man beating two female employees. The suspect, later identified by police as 30-year-old Kyle Fitta, had already left the scene by the time officers arrived.

Without warning, Fitta began punching the 19-year-old cashier in the face and also attacked the teens mother and store manager as well. Both women suffered a number of injuries from Fitta punching and kicking them. Police said Fitta stole the manager’s cell phone and keys before driving towards the Massachusetts Turnpike, where he later caused a crash. Fitta began violently attacking the other driver involved in the crash, later being accused of resisting arrest when Massachusetts State Police troopers attempted to take him into custody.
