ACUSHNET, Mass. -
A man who served time in connection with the death of a woman decades ago is accused of assaulting an elderly man in Acushnet and ramming a police cruiser, officials said.
David Taber, 66, who served time in the 1993 death of a middle school nurse, is accused of assaulting the 88-year-old victim Tuesday in Taber's driveway.
Police said Taber took the victim's cellphone when the victim tried to call police. The victim was taken to Saint Luke's Hospital.
Police tried to stop Taber Thursday on Lake Street. Officials said he accelerated his vehicle over a yard and through several shrubs and rammed a police cruiser head on.
Taber was arrested and charged with assault and battery on a family member over 60, assault and battery with injury on a person over 60 and resisting arrest, among other charges.
Taber was released from prison in 2015.
