An NYPD lieutenant was injured in Brooklyn early Friday when a suspect dragged him into the street with his car during a motor vehicle stop, police said.
Police had stopped Takim Newson, 32, in front of 361 Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville at about 3:50 a.m. when the lieutenant approached him and asked him to step out of his car.
Newson instead hit the gas, speeding the car into reverse and pulling the officer into the street, cops said. Police posted video of the incident on Twitter.
The lieutenant broke free as the car reached the middle of the street. He was treated at a local hospital and released later in the day, said police.
Police did not identify the lieutenant, but said he worked in the 71st Precinct in Crown Heights. The incident occurred in Brownsville.
Newson was arrested later Friday in Nassau County, police said.
Newson is charged with an attempted murder shooting in Queens in February. He was arrested several weeks ago in North Carolina and brought before a Queens judge, who released him on bail.

He was arrested several weeks ago in North Carolina and brought before a Queens judge, who released him on bail.
And herein lies the problem.
He was released without bail, known as OR or own recognizance meaning he “promises” to appear which in this guys case means he will not appear. When the court lets him out again, you know because of his “minority status” and how unfair it is to require he actually answer for his crimes with any luck the next officer will do the country a favor and kill him.
How dare that police lieutenant harass that poor man. He could have had an accident.
The poor man was probably on his way to church
As i have often said, TILL WE START HOLDING THE Judges who keep releasing these violent cretins, to REOFFEND, as ACCOMPLISES TO EACH and every crime commited BY those they release, it won’t STOP…
Bail for attempted murder? With **** for brains judges like this, why does any cop bother trying to arrest any black? It’s only luck that this one wasn’t killed by being run over by yet another thug evading arrest.
“Newson is charged with an attempted murder shooting in Queens in February. He was arrested several weeks ago in North Carolina and brought before a Queens judge, who released him on bail.”
Oh No, we would want anyone to think that he was only arrested because he is black.
“Newson is charged with an attempted murder shooting in Queens in February. He was arrested several weeks ago in North Carolina and brought before a Queens judge, who released him on bail”. I think all of us Conservatives should go to New York, where we can be mugged, robbed or killed, because the criminals run the streets. Great job de Blasio and great job Governor Cuomo. Kill innocent people in nursing homes but let the criminals run the streets. The Democrat communist playbook for chaos!!!!
That’s why i have lost ALL sympathy for those still LIVING in NY.. THEY kept voting in these cretins who DO this nonsense.. SO they brought it all on their own heads.
Okay Antifa and BLM members and supporters. Here we have a fellow human being who has chosen law enforcement as his life’s work. You see what a simple traffic stop can evolve into.
He isn’t walking up to a car with two people sitting in it and pulling out his gun and shooting them in the face just because. He isn’t destroying other people’s property by rioting and burning. He isn’t stealing from other people by vandalizing and looting. He, and others like him, are out protecting your sorry a***s every day while you wish misfortune upon them and invent sick ways to make it happen.
Are there bad cops? Sure—just as there are bad receptionists, bad plumbers, etc. If you buy a bushel of apples and you discover there are some bad ones, do you throw out the whole bushel. No, you weed out the bad ones and you will buy more apples in the future. You remove bad people the same way—it is as simple as that. There will be casualties in the line of police work because they do not always get the cooperation they ask for and those situations can escalate.
This national movement to malign police officers shows willful ignorance on a segment of the population and sorry, inept leadership on the local, state, and national levels. This is a very poor reflection on our society. It is senseless and inexcusable.
Antifa and BLM are probably whining amongst themselves, that the cop didn’t die..
That Queen’s Judge should go to the hospital and see what happened to the Officer, and tell him, he allowed that “misaligned” individual free…
TO ME he should be rotting in the SAME JAIL CELL as that perp..
Maybe if some of the darlings of the Media get their butts kicked by the thugs that they seem to worship, then there may possibly be more honest reporting of what is actually happening out in the Wild West.
Speaking of which, I heard that the first uniformed police did not exist in the US until 1850 in NYC. So what did the citizenry do before that creation than then grew and spread? Private security? Or did the Good Old Boys get together and take care of business bringing swift and certain justice to horse thieves, cattle rustlers, arsonists, rapists and murderers? If there are no police, then what will people do for protection of their lives and property?
