Repairman attacks woman, "restrains children" during air conditioning repair visit

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) —

A scheduled air conditioning repair visit turns into a nightmare for one woman and her young children.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has arrested Dario Dotto, 34, after he assaulted a woman and restrained young children present in the home during a visit to fix the air conditioner. The reason is unknown at this time.

Dotto, who works for an unnamed local air conditioning company, showed up to the home in Boynton Beach on Friday just before 5:30 p.m. for an appointment to repair the air conditioner.

Instead, Dotto "restrained" the children then proceeded to strike the victim multiple times with a blunt object, says PBSO.
