Hans Hamilton was driving up the 429 Expressway near Walt Disney World on March 30 when he noticed a car that had collided with a guardrail.
Video captured by cameras on Hamilton’s Tesla appeared to show a man staggering out of the driver’s side door and collapsing in the grass.
After Hamilton pulled over to help, video footage previously obtained by News 6 showed the man jumping on the hood and roof of the Tesla, shattering the windshield.
The motorist then tackled Hamilton and repeatedly punched him, the video showed.
Hamilton, who said he suffered a brain bleed and broken ribs during the roadside assault, was able to get away from the man as other people driving by called 911.
When Orange County deputy sheriff Gregory Radiger arrived at the scene, video footage captured by his body-worn camera shows Hamilton and another bystander waiting by the Tesla.
The motorist who had attacked Hamilton was sitting in the grass near his damaged car.
“What happened with the crash today?” Radiger asked the man.
“No hablo Inglés, por favor,” the man replied, indicating he spoke Spanish instead of English. “Hablo Español.”
“He’s lying!” Hamilton told the deputy. “He spoke perfect English.”
The motorist then stood up and began charging towards the deputy, the video shows.
Get the f*** away from me now!” the man yelled at Radiger. “Get the f*** away from me.”
As the man appeared to shove the deputy, the video shows Radiger tackle him to the ground.
“The guy in the Signal 4 (vehicle accident) is fighting me,” the deputy called out over his agency radio. “I’m trying to cuff him right now.”
As Radiger struggled to restrain the man while retrieving his handcuffs, Hamilton and another bystander helped hold him on the ground, the video shows.
“Stop! I’m dying!” the man screamed.
“We’re trying to help you,” Hamilton replied.
Moments later, the man mentioned Hamilton’s car, which the video showed him damaging, and the vehicle manufacturer’s chief executive.
“F*** you and your Tesla,” he said. “Tesla sucks. Elon Musk is going to work for me.”
As Radiger tried putting the handcuffed motorist into a patrol vehicle, the video shows the man continuing to struggle with the deputy and three other law enforcement officers.
“Get them off!” the man screamed as another deputy tackled him to the ground again. “I’m going to strike you!”
While attempting to control the man, the video indicates that one of the other deputies was struck in the groin.
“Trump, save me! Donald Trump, save me, please,” the motorist yelled as deputies and paramedics strapped him to a gurney. “Call Donald Trump. He’s my friend.”
Before being loaded into an ambulance and taken to the hospital, the motorist made several homophobic comments, the video shows.
“I hope the Lord does not kill you tomorrow,” the motorist told the first responders.
Deputies later identified the motorist as Daniel Coman, 44.
Prosecutors have charged Coman with aggravated battery, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
He is also charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, and criminal mischief in relation to the incident on the 429 expressway.
Separately, prosecutors have charged Coman with criminal mischief for allegedly jumping on a woman’s car and damaging it shortly before the good Samaritan attack, court records show.
Coman, who was later released from jail on bond, has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His attorney did not immediately respond to an email from News 6 offering an opportunity to comment.
