A suspect named Taveon Hargrove, 23, was arrested in Virginia for his alleged role in a brutal attack on an off-duty NYPD officer in the Bronx. The incident, which was caught on surveillance video, showed two assailants attacking the officer with a knife and stealing his firearm. While Hargrove is in custody and facing charges, his accomplice has yet to be apprehended. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch emphasized their relentless pursuit of suspects, and the injured officer is recovering from severe injuries sustained during the attack.
Hargrove's violent accomplice has not yet been caught, but his father, Jeffrey Hargrove, 55, was busted Sunday for allegedly using the cop's stolen credit card at several Bronx bodegas.
'We really put the full resources of the New York City Police Department into finding this guy, and I hope and expect we will have him soon,' the top cop said Tuesday morning.
'He's going to have some surgery this afternoon, and we are very hopeful for a full recovery, but he had lots of broken bones on his face. He was in rough shape.'
'To anyone thinking of assaulting a police officer, you do it, and we're coming for you,' she warned.
