After the collision, he himself alerted 112 and told them he was drunk.

The incident occurred in April. During the interrogation, the woman told how she had left the residence after they had quarreled, and how the man had called and told her that he was driving behind her while she was walking on the sidewalk.

Then he drove into her and the three-month-old baby, who suffered a fracture in the elbow.

The man has stated during the interrogation that the child and his girlfriend were "closer than he thought" and that it was not intended to drive into them. He is now being prosecuted for gross assault, gross drunk driving, gross negligence in traffic, and minor drug offense.
