Driver mows down pedestrians in DTLA after woken up from nap

A motorist in downtown Los Angeles intentionally mowed down a group of pedestrians because he was apparently mad they woke him up from a nap.

Police say the driver was napping in his rented car early Monday morning near E. Cesar Chavez Avenue and N. Vignes Street when some people asked him for a cigarette.

There was a verbal altercation, and at some point, the suspect intentionally drove into four people - three men and a woman, police said.

Two people were transported to an area hospital. All four suffered minor injuries, police said.

The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Ryad Boudghenestambouli, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Police said he was not drunk or on drugs. Authorities believe he was in California from France to attend Coachella.

Investigators said he was trying to sleep in his van and got mad when the pedestrians woke him up.

Man hit people with his car in Bothell to get out of work

A 22-year-old arrested for intentionally hitting two people with his car Friday night in Bothell said he did it to change his life and to get out of a job he hated, court documents say.

"I had to change something in my life, so I hit three people with my car," the man told a Bothell police officer. "The intent wasn't to kill but just to injure."

Court documents say he hit two women and aimed his car at a third pedestrian, who managed to get out of the way.

One of the women was seriously hurt and was taken to Evergeen Health Medical Center. The other woman was treated at the scene.

"I heard kind of a screech. Like tire screeching," said victim Amy Porterfield of Bothell. She was walking to a restaurant to meet her husband for their anniversary dinner.

“I started to cross the street and then I heard the car coming. I could hear the engine revving as he came. And I turned just as his hood hit my leg,” said Porterfield. “He hit me in my left leg and I came up on the car, bounced off the hood, flipped over and landed on my right side on the street.”

The man who was arrested, identified as Eli Aldinger, later told a police officer that he was on his way to work when saw a man and woman crossing Main Street. He sped up from 20 to 35 to 40 mph to hit the woman, court documents say. He told an police officer that the woman saw him coming and jumped up on the hood of his car.

She was the most seriously injured of the two women.

The man then saw a second woman crossing Bothell Way Northeast. He swerved his car to hit her, court documents say.

The woman was bruised, but didn't need to go to the hospital, court documents say.

Then a man was in the path of his car, but he got out of way.

Witnesses say the suspect was driving on the wrong side of the road but finally stopped at Bothell Way NE and 185th NE Street. Officers were in the area dealing with an unrelated accident. Snapchat video shows the officer cuffing the suspect and witnesses say the suspect was laughing.

The driver did not seem to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, court documents say. "He was completely calm and did not seem confused, excited, nervous or scared," a Bothell police officer wrote in court documents. The officer said after his arrest, the man "spoke nonchalantly about the incident."

He worked at McMenamins Anderson School in Bothell, but he hated his job, he told the officer. He said he was unhappy with his life and suffered from insomnia. He said on Friday that he had not slept for three days.

As he was driving to work that night, "he wanted to do anything to get out of going to work," the officer wrote.

He seemed almost relieved that he was going to jail, the officer wrote. He told the officer he was looking forward to "spending a few years in a room."

"I'm not happy with the direction my life is going. I've been working in the food industry for five years and hate it," he told the officer. "I've been dealing with insomnia for the past couple of months, and it's been horrible."

He told the officer that he felt bad for the people he hit and their families, but said it was a "life experience," court documents say.

"I asked him if it was worth it, and he said 'yeah,' " the officer wrote in court documents.

Meanwhile, the victim has a bit of sympathy for the driver.

“I feel angry but I also feel bad for him, that he was in that frame of mind,” said Porterfield.

Aldinger is being held on $1 million bail. His next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.

Speechless.

Wow. What a bunch of absolute sociopaths to not have any at all thought of other's well being

We travel from point A to point B inside a self propelled battering ram. Something snapped within society after the Nice attack and fucked in the heads people are realizing that fact

I think many of us have been woken up, and your first words were, "so who wants to die?"

Just a man of action is all. Misunderstood really.













Might be a psychopath.

Are we surprised? We had people in the WR crowing about how you should mow down protesters in the road for making you late. America is full of sociopaths and crazy people ready to kill at any moment.

Insomnia is pretty serious and needs to be taken seriously. It can lead to severe depression and cognitive impairment.

We should try and take their guns away. I'm sure it will go smoothly.

Well.... protesters aren't supposed to be in the road. In a way I see it as unlawful forceable confinement.

Is it OK to talk about SSRI medications and people who behave this way?

Or will that still get your post deleted?

Maybe we should stop drugging people with psych meds from when they're too little to even spell their names.

maybe it works for you....

last time I did pot I went running for 3 hours to try and metabolize it out of my system as it was making me freak out. It's going to be legal here this summer but I won't be doing it again.

they have their purpose but yes they are probably over prescribed. For those that need them though they can work wonders.

Yea dude we should totally not be doing that.

however crazy people take those drugs because they are already crazy so I need to see more studies that it is indeed the pills driving it , Not a cop out answer either because I would find it even more alarming that we seem to be churning out mentally defective people at an alarming rate than it being something that the pills create.

Studies should be done to see which is indeed the problem

Well, per his logic, he did just change his life and get out of the job he hated, so mission accomplished?

They should not have interrupted his nap. That was the wrong thing to do.
