Overview
- The attack, which unfolded Monday on the 429 Expressway near Walt Disney World, left Hans Hamilton with a brain bleed and four broken ribs.
- Dash-cam and local news video show the driver first lying still, then leaping onto Hamilton’s Tesla, smashing the windshield, and tackling him with repeated blows.
- An Orange County deputy arrived and, according to an arrest report, Daniel Coman approached in a fighting stance and swung at the officer, leading to charges that include battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting with violence, assault on a law enforcement officer, battery, and criminal mischief.
- An affidavit says Coman was involved in a separate hit-and-run about two miles south and was a suspect in an earlier criminal mischief incident that morning.
- Coman missed a Tuesday court appearance due to his own hospitalization and remained in the Orange County Jail Thursday night, while Hamilton is hospitalized and has launched a GoFundMe to cover medical and car repair costs.
