SUSPECTED DRUG DEALER RUNS DOWN PEDESTRIAN COP
From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx; Bronx Injury Lawyer)
When Guillermo Castro, age 46, was stopped by New York City narcotics officers on the afternoon of January 14, 2010, he quickly backed up, knocking down and injuring an as yet unnamed detective. Showing uninterrupted bad judgment, he then raced his car northbound up Ninth Avenue in Manhattan, not caring that Ninth Avenue is a one-way southbound street. Fortunately, he didn't cause an accident or hurt anyone else.
A spokesman for the NYPD said that the officer suffered injury to one of his legs. A second cop was also hit in the leg but his injury was not as serious. Both policemen were treated at Bellevue Hospital Center.
Castro was caught at 40th Street and Ninth Avenue. Drugs were found in his Nissan Maxima. Criminal charges are pending.
