Run over
Police arrested a man who they say sped off after he allegedly ran over a cop with an all-terrain vehicle on Hicks Street on Sept. 17.
Authorities said the suspect was riding his unregistered Yamaha vehicle near Old Fulton Street at 5:15 pm, causing cars to swerve to avoid a collision. The suspect then smashed into the officer responding to the trouble, causing him to loose control of his two-wheeled police scooter and fall on the pavement.
The suspect then ran over the cop with his vehicle, making no effort to avoid the officer as he was lying on the ground, according to a report. Police later apprehended the suspect, who they say was also in possession of marijuana, in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

One of the nogoodniks snarled, “Give me your f—— phone or I’ll shoot you,” and proceeded to take a knife out of his hoodie, according to a report. The victim then handed over his phone and the louts fled, authorities said.
