NORWALK — A Bridgeport man sexually assaulted a woman in front of three children, according to police.
Police said an officer on extra-duty assignment was in the area of Strawberry Hill Avenue around 2:45 p.m. on Friday when he saw a man lunge into another person’s car and cause a commotion.
The man, later identified as 36-year-old Marcus Gaffney, allegedly jumped into the person’s car moments after a child was seen getting in the car.
When the officer approached the car, he found Gaffney laying across the lap of the child and the driver of the car, who police said was “hysterical.” There were also two children sitting in the backseat of the car, police said.
The victim later told police that Gaffney, who was unknown to her, had grabbed her breasts and crotch during the incident.
Police spokesperson Lt. Jared Zwickler said the officer tried to remove Gaffney, but he refused to get out and began kicking the officer.
During the struggle, the officer had to disarm Gaffney of a knife, according to Zwickler.
Eventually, with the help of two civilians, Gaffney was arrested. While in custody, Gaffney, who police believe was under the influence of PCP, spit on an officer, according to Zwickler.
Gaffney was charged with third-degree sexual assault, two counts of third-degree assault, third-degree criminal mischief, three counts of risk of injury to a minor and interfering with an officer. He was held on $250,000 bond and given a court date of Dec. 7.
