MANCHESTER, Conn. -- The operator of a carnival ride was drunk when a three-year-old fell off and injured himself, police said.
The boy was on the "Yo-Yo" swing ride around 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Coleman Brothers carnival at the Manchester Parkade when he fell from the swing, landing on concrete pavement.
He was taken to the Hartford Hospital, where he was treated for cuts and abrasions and released at 11 p.m.
Ride operator Kenneth Manachio, 34, of Bristol was under the influence of alcohol and uncooperative with investigating officers, police said.
He was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment in the first and second degrees, risk of injury to a minor and interfering with police. He is being held on a $50,000 bond.
Officials shut down the ride pending an investigation.
