CORONADO, Calif. (KGTV) — A 62-year-old man has been arrested, accused of brutally attacking a woman after he hit her car while trying to park in San Diego's Coronado neighborhood Wednesday morning.
According to the Coronado Police Department, the assault happened around 10:15 a.m. in the 900 block of Orange Avenue.
