NEW YORK (AP) -- Twenty-six year old Andrew Grullon of the Bronx was arrested on Saturday for running over an NYPD traffic agent with his vehicle in an attempt to avoid getting a ticket.
The traffic agent was hospitalized with broken legs and a head injury.
The incident happened Friday afternoon on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.
Police say the 26-year-old agent was about to write a ticket for a double-parked car when the motorist ran to the vehicle, got in and tried to drive away.
As he made his escape, the car knocked the agent to the ground and then drove over her, crushing her legs.
Grullon was charged with felony assault and leaving the scene of an accident.
They say the traffic agent is in guarded condition at St. Barnabas Hospital.
