\n\t\t\t\t\t\tProsecutors have upgraded charges against a man accused of attacking a Good Samaritan on a Central Florida highway, adding a felony count alleging the victim suffered serious injuries, according to newly filed court records.Daniel Coman is now charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, along with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence and criminal mischief causing more than $1,000 in damage, according to a charging document filed May 7 in Orange County.The upgraded charge replaces an earlier battery allegation and reflects the severity of injuries suffered by the victim, identified as Hans Hawk Hamilton.According to prosecutors, Coman attacked Hamilton on or about March 30, intentionally striking him and causing “great bodily harm” and potential permanent disfigurement or disability.The case stems from an incident previously reported in which Hamilton, described as a Good Samaritan, stopped to assist along a roadway before being ambushed and beaten.Authorities also allege Coman battered an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy during the encounter while the deputy was performing official duties.In addition, Coman is accused of damaging a Tesla windshield belonging to Hamilton, with losses estimated at $1,000 or more.Prosecutors further allege Coman resisted law enforcement with violence, including struggling with deputies and failing to comply with commands during the arrest.The charges were filed by the Office of State Attorney Monique H. Worrell in Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit.Court records did not immediately indicate whether Coman has entered a plea or retained an attorney.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
