DORAL, Fla. – A 41-year-old Doral man, Daysnel Hernandez, is facing serious charges after allegedly raping and threatening a 28-year-old woman with a screwdriver on Thursday, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
It happened at approximately 10:30 a.m. by the underpass located at 777 NW 72nd Ave., authorities said.
According MDSO officials, the victim reported that she exited her vehicle in a nearby parking lot are when Hernandez allegedly struck her in the back of the head with a large rock.
Authorities said he then covered her mouth, held a screwdriver to her neck, and dragged her to a secluded area.
The victim stated that Hernandez punched her multiple times as she attempted to break free, and then raped her while armed with the screwdriver, according to the report.
Investigators said the victim begged Hernandez not to kill her while fearing for her life.
