SHERBORN, Mass. — Authorities searched a shallow body of water for a suspect accused of attacking a passenger in his car and fleeing from officers Wednesday afternoon.
Sherborn Police say they responded to the area of Washington Street and Woodland Street to search for a male suspect. The suspect, who had an active warrant for his arrest, assaulted a passenger in his car while he was driving, according to officials.
The victim attempted to leave the car while the assailant was driving past a Sherborn officer who was working a private traffic detail, police say.
The suspect fled from the scene and was found a short time later stuck in a shallow body of water near the roadway. Two Sherborn Firefighters put on cold-water rescue suits and retrieved the suspect without incident.
He was able to walk out of the water under his own power but was transported to an area hospital as a precaution.
His name has not been released at this time.
