PROVIDENCE — The police are investigating an unusual incident Sunday night in Wanskuck in which two cars collided and then struck the corner of a house at 49 Crandall St. One of the motorists involved in the accident then allegedly fought with police officers.

The incident was part of a weekend of assorted mayhem in the capital city, beginning Friday night, which included at least one shooting, at least three apparently unrelated reports of shots fired and nobody hit, at least three stabbings and at least four robberies.

Officers responded to 49 Crandall shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday and they found that two cars that had been southbound on Augusta Street had collided and rammed through a fence and into the house. A passenger in one vehicle, Michael M. Todorovich, 21, of 50 Knight St., who was the only person reported to have been injured, was treated at Rhode Island Hospital for a cut hand.

As the police placed one of the drivers, Timothy DeBritto, 22, of 852 Douglas Ave., in the back seat of a cruiser, they said about 15 of DeBritto’s friends and family arrived at the scene. DeBritto became unruly and began to incite the crowd, according to the police.

At one point during the struggle, the police alleged, DeBritto elbowed a patrolman in the eye and caused him injury.

Another allegedly belligerent individual approached and taunted officers, calling out, according to the police, “I’m not leaving. I need my boys.” That individual, identified as Arthur Sweeney, 20 — his home address was not available yesterday — also fought with officers, the police alleged.

DeBritto was charged with operating a motor vehicle without a license, disorderly conduct, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. Sweeney was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

A woman driving with her four children in the West End was wounded by a stray gunshot Saturday afternoon , and there were at least three other incidents of shots fired, according to the police.

In the most serious of the three other incidents of shots fired, two motorists stopped for a red light saw a young male standing on Chalkstone Avenue fire three shots from a handgun into Davis Park Sunday shortly after 6:30 p.m.

Another witness said there was a large group of young men watching two young men in a fistfight on the basketball courts in the park and that after the fight ended, one of the observers began to leave, but returned and fired a handgun multiple times. Nobody was struck.

A young man was shot late yesterday afternoon outside the right field fence of a ball field in Davis Park, at the intersection of Chalkstone Avenue and Raymond Street. It was not immediately clear if yesterday’s shooting was linked to Sunday’s.

City Councilman Terry Hassett said the police told him the victim had been taken to a hospital.

Providence Police Maj. Stephen Campbell said one teenager was injured in the attack, according to the Associated Press. He did not immediately identify the man.

Campbell said detectives hope to learn more after interviewing the teenager at Rhode Island Hospital. No arrests were reported.

In other weekend violence, at least three people were stabbed or slashed with sharp instruments in three separate incidents but none suffered a life-threatening injury. In one case, the victim would not name his assailant.

Brandon Gomes, 23, of 144 Dover St., went to the Mount Pleasant fire station Sunday at about 9 p.m., suffering from a laceration on his upper left arm, the police reported.

“My girl stabbed me, but I ain’t telling you her name,” the police quoted Gomes as saying. Gomes was treated at Rhode Island Hospital.

The robberies included at least three muggings — one of the victims was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design who was walking on College Hill late at night — and the holdup of a doughnut shop.

The holdup occurred Saturday shortly before 9 p.m. at the Honey Dew doughnut shop, 450 Allens Ave., the police said.

Clerk Luis Mercado, 18, said a woman armed with a handgun came in and demanded, “Give me all the money.” The robber escaped with about $200, according to the police.

On College Hill, Jasmin Lin, 21, of 2 College St., told the police that she was walking home on Benefit Street between 2:30 a.m. and 3 a.m. Sunday when two women pulled up next to her in a car and asked for directions.

They then jumped out and punched and kicked her and stole a digital camera, Lin related. She declined medical attention, the police said.
