A Florida man was accused of striking a pedestrian with his car after police said he admitted he drove to a farmers market with the intention of hitting someone.
According to a probable cause affidavit, the suspect told investigators he woke up depressed on September 13 and wanted to hurt someone besides himself. He reportedly drove to the Boys Farmers Market in Delray Beach, backed his vehicle into a parking space and waited for someone to walk in front of it.
Police learned more about the incident after arriving at the parking lot after a report of a pedestrian being hit. The alleged victim told officers he was walking toward the market entrance when a white vehicle suddenly moved toward him. He managed to push away from the car, but it struck his lower leg.
