Coworker accused of slashing woman’s throat during ride home, victim escaped moving car: police

A New York man is accused of slashing the throat of a female coworker while she was giving him a ride home, according to police.

Saratoga Springs police said they responded Friday to a report of a car that crashed into Augie’s To-Go, an Italian restaurant, and found the driver had a "serious laceration" to her neck that appeared unrelated to the crash.

David Cruz Torres, 36, of Michoacán, Mexico was identified as the passenger in the car and tried to flee the area before he was detained by police officers.
