Stamford resident Brayan Escudero, age 29, was driving north on I-95 at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4 in Westchester when they got into a fight on the shoulder of the roadway in New Rochelle.

Police said that the initial investigation determined that the two had been involved in an argument while driving, at which point Escudero allegedly pulled over to the side, where the incident escalated, and he punched her multiple times, leaving her with undisclosed injuries.

The woman declined medical attention at the scene, and investigators said that it was also determined that Escudero was allegedly intoxicated, though he refused to submit to a breathalyzer.
