A 28-year-old man allegedly slammed into an NYPD squad car and three other vehicles before his arrest on a slew of charges Wednesday – then bit off a piece of a police sergeant’s finger while in a holding cell.
Police arrested him after the crash and brought him to the 103rd Precinct building for processing, where he was accused of acting “disorderly” and then attacking the NYPD sergeant and biting off a chunk of his finger.
The charges include assault with intent to cause disfigurement, assaulting a police officer, injuring an on-duty officer, reckless endangerment, fleeing a traffic stop, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, operating an unregistered vehicle, driving while apparently impaired and refusing to take a breath test.
Rodriguez-Cruz has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is now being being held on a 350,000 bond.
