Stafford Man Identified as Suspect in Attempted Vehicle Assault on Woman [FREDERICKSBURG, VA]
FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Authorities have identified Anthony L. Pittman Jr., a resident of Stafford, as the suspect involved in an attempted vehicle assault on a woman late Thursday afternoon on Riverside Drive, according to Fredericksburg Police.
The attempted vehicle assault on a woman took place around 5:15 p.m. when the Fredericksburg E-911 Center received an urgent report of a driver trying to run over a woman in the 400 block of Riverside Drive. During the harrowing incident, the driver collided with a milepost on the Heritage Trail, which ultimately prevented him from hitting the woman, according to police. The driver then fled the scene in a U-Haul pickup truck.
Following an in-depth investigation, law enforcement officers meticulously gathered evidence from the scene. This led the detective in charge of the case to identify Anthony L. Pittman Jr. as the primary suspect in this alarming incident. Pittman is now wanted on several serious charges, including attempted aggravated malicious wounding, reckless driving with the intent to injure, destruction of property, and violating a protective order.
This incident raises significant concerns not only about public safety but also about the rights of the victim involved. The emotional and psychological trauma experienced by the woman during this terrifying ordeal cannot be overstated.
