A Danbury man has been arrested for allegedly attacking a person he was trying to rob in Newtown.  Danbury Police helped Newtown to take 20-year old Destin Jackson into custody early Saturday morning on an outstanding warrant. 

Jackson was charged with robbery and assault for the April 6th incident, where he allegedly tried to rob a victim walking through a shopping plaza parking lot.  The victim refused to give his car keys to Jackson, and the Danbury man hit the victim in the head and body multiple times with his hands and feet, including kicking the victim while he was knocked to the ground. 

The victim was hospitalized. 

Newtown Police spokesman Lt. Aaron Bahamonde says justice can now be served, for the victim and the community and is pleased "this very dangerous individual is off the streets".
