Man confesses to raping woman in Miami-Dade, accused of attacking Doral hotel worker, authorities say
A man is facing serious charges after being accused of committing two separate assaults in Miami-Dade County this week, including rape and another attack, authorities said.
According to jail records obtained by CBS News Miami, 41-year-old Daysnel Hernandez was arrested and booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center early Saturday morning.
He is facing multiple charges stemming from the two incidents, including armed burglary, attempted second-degree murder, armed kidnapping, sexual battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to Doral Police and the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, Hernandez is allegedly confessed to raping a woman in unincorporated Miami-Dade County on Thursday and attacking a female Doral hotel employee on Friday.
Both agencies are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding their respective cases.
The first assault: Rape in Miami-Dade County
On Thursday, MDSO began investigating a sexual assault assault case in unincorporated Miami-Dade County.
According to the arrest documents, the victim told investigators that she exited her vehicle in a parking lot in the area of 777 NW 72nd Ave. when Hernandez allegedly struck her in the back of her head with a large rock. She continued, saying that he then allegedly covered her mouth as he held a screwdriver against her neck and dragged her into a secluded area.
Hernandez then allegedly proceeded to punch the victim "multiple times" as she tried to escape before he forced her to perform sexual acts and sexually assaulted her, while he was still armed with the screwdriver, the arrest documents said.
"The victim begged [Hernandez] not to kill her because she was in fear for her life," the arrest documents said.
The victim then told investigators that Hernandez then ran away toward the parking lot, leaving her with multiple lacerations, abrasions and contusions throughout her body.
Later, MDSO learned that Hernandez was taken into custody by Doral Police for the unrelated incident, where after being read his Miranda rights, he confessed to "raping" the victim and corroborated with her statement, the arrest documents said.
The second assault: Doral hotel attack
Before MDSO found Hernandez, he was arrested for allegedly attacking a hotel worker in Doral on Friday.
According to Doral Police, Hernandez allegedly "physically assaulted" a female employee at the Doral Inn & Suites on 1212 NW 82nd Avenue.
Doral Police told CBS News Miami that the case remains under investigation and no further information is available at this time.
