A criminal with a long list of prior arrests attacked a female police officer with a bottle in the Bronx Monday while she was working with the New York City Sheriff's office on a smoke shop takedown in the borough, sources said.
According to the NYPD, the brutal assault occurred at around 2 p.m. outside the shop, located in the vicinity of 231st Street and Broadway. Officer Silver, who was in uniform, was standing on the sidewalk next to another cop when she was approached from behind and struck in the back of the head with a bottle before the assailant started wildly throwing punches.
“While the Task Force was conducting smoke shop inspections NYPD Officer Silver was providing exterior security,” Sheriff Anthony Miranda told amNewYork Metro. “The officer was struck on the head in an ambush style attack. Members of the NYC Sheriff and NYPD immediately took the suspect into custody without further incident.”
In this case, Garcia is charged with assault, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, harassment, and obstructing governmental administration.
