Connecticut creep pummels pregnant woman in Dunkin’ drive-thru during attempted carjacking

A Connecticut man pummeled a pregnant woman and tried to steal her car in a Dunkin’ drive-thru Tuesday night — only to be thwarted by heroic employees, police said. 

William Rodriguez, 28, allegedly rushed through the unsuspecting woman’s passenger door and demanded her keys after he parked in front of her vehicle in East Haven around 7:45 p.m., according to cops. 

When she refused to hand over the keys, Rodriguez flew into a rage — punching her in the arm and cheꦓst,  reported.

The woman, who is four months pregnant, managed𒁏 to escape and deღsperately ran inside the fast food eatery on Foxon Road for help. 

A pair of Dunkin’ good Samaritans headed outside and confronted Rodriguez while he struggled to maneuver the car, police said. 

The duo yanked him out, wrestled him to🎀 the groundꦯ and restrained him until police arrived. 

After allegedly tussling with🅺 responding cops, police finally arrested the maniac. 

The unhinged suspect then chomped on a medic’s hand while receiving medical attention from EMTs for injuries sustained during the attempted carjacking, officials said. 

Rodriguez — who has two warrants for his arrest from state police and several outstanding warrants totaling $475,000 — was hit with a slew of charges for Tuesday’s bizarre crime.
