Bronx: East 170th Street & Webster Avenue, officers from the NYPD, 44TH Precinct on Tuesday, at around 7:45 pm, observed a vehicle making an illegal U-turn at a high-speed rate, blowing a red light, and ignoring a pedestrian on the crosswalk.
The vehicle came to a stop at a bus lane. Officers then conducted a car stop and determined that the individual did not provide his correct name and his license was suspended.
The driver was ordered to step out of his car, but instead, he tried fleeing the officers. Officers then removed the driver who resisted arrest and punched an officer in his shoulder and kicked his knee.
Another person intentionally used physical force in an attempt to interfere with the arrest. As a result, a large NYPD responded to the scene and arrested both people.
