Nude Suspect Shot During Fight With Del. Trooper

NEWPORT, Del. (CBS 3) ― Delaware State Police say a trooper shot a naked Wilmington man who was beating the officer with his police radio.

The trooper found 35-year-old Fabian Silvestre standing naked on Route 4 around 2:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Police say Silvestre charged the trooper and after a struggle, the trooper used his pepper spray. Unaffected, police say Silvestre took the trooper's radio and beat him with it. Police say the trooper feared for his life and fired two shots, hitting Silvestre in the shoulder, but it did not stop him.

A second trooper arrived and used a stun gun on Silvestre and with the help of a third trooper they were able to subdue Silvestre.

When Silvestre is released from Christiana Hospital, police expect to charge him in this attack and an earlier attack on his wife.
