On November 8, 2020 at approximately 1:15 am Manchester Police responded to 3 Kitchens Bar and Grill at 333 Valley St for a report of a large fight. When officers arrived they spotted a large group of people yelling in the parking lot and security guards holding onto one individual.
The man, identified as 23 y/o Richard Steven Torres was actively fighting with the security guards. Police were able to take him away from the crowd.
Torres was uncooperative and made derogatory comments and threats toward the officers.
He was very aggressive and struggled with police. They had to deploy a taser to finally put handcuffs on Torres. As police tried to get Torres into the transport vehicle he bit an officer in the forearm, causing a significant wound. He also kicked the officer in the back and legs, causing him to stumble out of the vehicle.
Torres was charged with Assault on a Police Officer, Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Threatening, and Resisting Arrest. He is being arraigned today in Manchester Circuit Court.
