Richard Suter, who has been accused in a fatal crash that killed a toddler at a southside restaurant, continues to recover following an alleged attack Thursday evening.

Suter told CTV News he was abducted from his home by three men that night.

“They identified themselves as police and it looked like they were wearing SWAT outfits.”

He said they told him to come with them and they walked him to a truck a few doors away.

“They put a bag over my head,” he explained and then said they drove quite a distance from his home.

He said when they stopped he was told to get out and get down on his knees.

“Then they started goofing around with the handcuffs. Next thing you know they got my hand free and they cut my thumb off my left hand.

“I must have passed out because the next thing I knew I woke up in a field by the side of the road.

“I just had my bathrobe on and my snow boots.”

Suter said he was able to flag down an oncoming vehicle and get help.

“I feel afraid for myself and my family. I am just trying to be calm as I can about the whole thing and try to think rationally what the right thing to do is about it.

“There is no reason why anybody would do this to me in how I conduct my daily life and so on. I am just a retired guy.”

Suter has been charged with impaired driving causing death and four counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm and a charge of refusing to provide a breath sample.

The charges stem from an incident in May, 2013 when Suter’s vehicle crashed into the patio of a southside restaurant trapping a toddler.

Geo Mounsef, 2, was pinned under the vehicle and died as a result of his injuries.

Mounsef’s mother took to Facebook to respond to Suter’s alleged attack.

“Justice for Geo will not come in the form of violence. Our family remains hopeful and entrusting of the legal system to bring Justice for Geo.

“It is utterly heartbreaking to have our Baby Geo’s memory associated with this horrible act of violence.”

Suter said he was not sure if the alleged attack was connected to his trial or not.

“I am sure somebody doesn’t do this unless they are getting compensating for it in some way.

“Hopefully job is done and I don’t want to see you again.”

He also denies that he was impaired at the time of the incident and said it was a simple mistake.

“An accident I could have made in my driveway cold stone sober. I could have driven through my garage door.

“Hopefully the truth will come out at the trial.”

The trial is set to begin in October.
