Describing what to do if you find yourself in a similar situation, Lt. Grimshaw then added, “Fight, fight, do everything you can bite the hand that’s hold in your that has one hand over your mouth. If that’s the case, stomp on their feet, kick them in the shin, do whatever you can to fight. And then if your mouth is free, scream as loud as you possibly can.”

9and10news added that the police were able to arrest the suspect and charge him with crimes based on his post-arrest confessions. According to the outlet, the state police force released a description of the suspect and, based on that description, were able to locate him at a nearby gas station.
