Carrot attack takes wife's eye
DANIEL TEPFER [email protected]
BRIDGEPORT A Monroe man was charged with assault Monday after police said he threw a carrot at his wife that put out her eye.
Appearing for his arraignment, Roderick Vecsey, 46, of Woods Row, blurted out to Superior Court Judge Patrick Carroll that it was all a terrible accident before Carroll hushed him.
The victim, 46-year-old Pamela Vecsey, underwent a six-hour operation at Yale-New-Haven Hospital, but doctors could not restore sight in her eye, Assistant State's Attorney Stephanie Damiani said.
Police said they were called to the couple's home on a complaint of a disturbance Saturday evening. When they arrived, they found the wife with her left eye swollen and bleeding, police said. Police said Roderick Vecsey told them: "I threw a carrot at her and it hit her in the eye."
Vecsey said he and his wife had gotten into an argument about taking their daughter to the doctor. He was eating a carrot during the argument, he told police, and he threw it at his wife, hitting her in the left eye.
Vecsey was charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct. The judge continued a hearing on the defendant's bond until Thursday. He is free on $500 bond.
