Big ego
A simple traffic stop on Lorimer Street on May 3 turned into a melee when the driver tried to battle the cop who pulled him over.
The police officer told the Kings County District Attorney’s office that he saw the 21-year-old was driving erratically near Scholes Street at 2:48 pm, and that the driver nearly hit the police officer’s car and then ran a red light.
When the cop pulled him over, the driver grabbed the cop in a headlock and tried to pull him down to the ground.
“F——- pigs, they are just mad that I took them down,” the man allegedly yelled.
He was charged with assault, failure to obey a traffic signal, resisting arrest, menacing, reckless driving and harassment.
The cop was taken to the hospital with multiple injuries.
