My father is fighting for his life,” said Torres’ son, Angel Arce.
But, no arrests have been made so far.
Roberts had told the Hartford Courant that he did not know if anybody called 911 or not.
Though a police car came, the officer was responding to another call. It was by fate that the police officer arrived. It that was not the case, it is unknown what would have happened next.
