A Pawtucket man is facing felony charges after he allegedly slammed a woman to the ground in a busy Attleboro intersection on Friday.

 

Police responded to reports of a crash near Newport and Highland Avenues and found the victim in the roadway, crying and bleeding from her head.

 

Standing over her was the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Gladior Kwesiah, according to police.

 

Witnesses told police the confrontation began after the woman rear-ended Kwesiah’s vehicle.

 

One witness reported seeing Kwesiah bang on the roof of the woman’s car before pulling her out of the vehicle. Another witness said they heard the two shouting, with the victim yelling, “Leave me alone!”

 

Moments later, Kwesiah lifted the woman and slammed her “head first” onto the pavement, police said. A witness captured the incident on video, which police provided to 12 News.
