WESTPORT–A Bronx man faces charges that he tried to evade Westport police by jumping a curb and driving over a retaining wall, endangering five construction workers during his escape, Westport police said.

A police officer approached Khauhi Tobias, 29, in a parking lot at the Saugatuck Train Station shortly after midnight, Jan. 13, when a license plate reader flagged a warrant for the owner of the 2015 Honda CRV SUV that Tobias was driving.

Tobias allegedly fled the lot, swerving around the officer and heading north on Riverside Avenue toward an active construction zone – and five workers on the site – which constricted the roadway to one narrow lane of alternating traffic, police said.

The officer pursuing the Honda, activated the siren and lights about the time several other officers arrived to help. The driver of the SUV tried to make a U-turn but turned back north, drove off the shoulder, jumped a curb and continued over a retaining wall into a private parking lot to get around the work zone, police said.

Police ended the pursuit at that point, but obtained a warrant to arrest Tobias as the owner of the vehicle.

Upon learning that Tobias was being held on an unrelated charge at the Westchester County Jail in Valhalla, N.Y., Westport police brought him back to Connecticut and formally charged him in the Jan. 13 incident.

He was charged with reckless driving, engaging police in pursuit, illegal window tinting and five counts first-degree reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor.

Tobias is due in Superior Court in Stamford on April 27, court records show.
