Newtown, Connecticut — On November 23, 2025, members of the Newtown Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting a disturbance in the area of Hanover Road. Upon arrival, Officer Hyvarinen made contact with the involved party, identified as 40-year-old Daniel Morris. During the encounter, Morris initially raised his hands in an apparent gesture of surrender. Without warning, Morris then struck Officer Hyvarinen in the face with a closed fist. As Officer Hyvarinen, who was operating alone at the time, attempted to gain control of the situation, Morris actively resisted and placed the officer in a headlock/chokehold. Officer Hyvarinen successfully disengaged by lifting the 220-pound suspect overhead and breaking free from the hold.
The physical altercation continued on the ground, during which Morris struck Officer Hyvarinen in the face a second time. Officer Hyvarinen ultimately gained control of Morris through lawful use of force proportionate to the threat presented. Both Officer Hyvarinen and Morris sustained minor facial injuries during the incident. Morris was evaluated on scene by emergency medical personnel and subsequently transported to Danbury Hospital, where he was medically cleared. Daniel Morris was placed under arrest and charged with the following offenses under the Connecticut General Statutes: Assault on Public Safety Personnel, Interfering with an Officer/Resisting Arrest, Disorderly Conduct. Morris was held on a $75,000 cash/surety bond and is scheduled for arraignment at Danbury Superior Court (GA #3) on November 24, 2025, at 9:30 a.m..

A man’s got to know his limitations.
Daniel, you have the right to remain stupid and now severely bruised and behind bars. Way to go.
Mess around, find out….
I’m not that good of a person; if I was that cop I would have knee’d him the nuts sooo many times.
😅….sucker punch?!!!??!!?.
He swung like a PUSSY!!!
Dam he got fucked up 😂 bad ass cop💯🫡
Many male police officers have years of built up anger inside them. This officer had a smile on his face for days after this. This guy choosed stupid violence and got what he asked for!
Finally, a cop who only says something a couple of times and then starts taking action. This guy did what he did because he’s dealt with other cops who gave a million orders without doing anything. He thought this was the same old debate.
Good example of why LEO should be men.
Good job buddy
Tough guy persona kind of falls apart when you scream ‘dad you hear it?’ 😅😅😅
I don't get it why was he being detained exactly what he was asking?
He deserved every bit of that az whipping, great job officer.
Out fucking standing officer! More force now, less force later.
To all officers: this is why you get into self defense classes outside of your department minimum requirements. With that being said, that was a good little scrap. Officer got down and handled business. Props.
Loudmouth tough guy talking all big shit 🙄🥱 …
THEN COP WHOOPS YOUR ASS!!! 🤣🤣
Hello Family Be not dismayed whate'er betide
God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you
I know God will take care of you,
Thro' every day, o'er all the way;
God will take care of you
All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.
God will take care of you
God will see you through
God will take care of you
God will take good care of you
He needs contacts a very good lawyer, a couple of guard dogs, and a service tool
Cop got a nice shot in on that clown — great work!
THE 👮 THOUGHT 🤔 HE WAS (MIKE TYSON) OR WHAT??? 11/26/25
This officer had time today.
DAAAAAAD! 😂
Shithead apologies after he punches cop and tries to overpower the officer. Only after he figured out he was losing did he act like he wasn’t doing anything.
