The NYPD has arrested Taveon Hargrove, 23, in connection with the brutal assault of a 27-year-old off-duty officer during a robbery in the Bronx. Hargrove allegedly attacked the officer, causing severe facial injuries and stealing his wallet and gun. A second suspect, Wayne Lucas, is still at large. The officer was critical at the hospital as police highlighted a recent string of attacks on officers. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch emphasized the department's commitment to pursue those who harm officers, reflecting on the increasing violence against the police.
In just the past month, we've seen some heinous attacks on police officers in NYC, including: one with part of his finger bitten off; another with part of his ear bitten off; and this latest vicious assault resulting in severe fractures to an officer's face, among too many others.
Attack one of our own and you will get the full force of the greatest police department in the world coming for you, just like Taveon Hargrove does now.
