Second man arrested in beating of NYPD officer in the Bronx
Editor's note: The above video aired on May 25, 2025. THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) — A second man was arrested for allegedly beating an NYPD officer the same day the cop was released from the hospital, authorities said. Wayne Lucas, 23, was taken into custody in Virginia on Wednesday afternoon, according to the NYPD. His accomplice, Taveon Hargrove, 23, was arrested in Virginia on Tuesday. The charges against the suspects were pending Thursday, police said. More Local News Officer Nafees Chowdhury was wheeled out of Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx on Wednesday with his family by his side as his fellow officers applauded. Chowdhury replied with a thankful nod to the crowd before NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch greeted his family. 'Come for one of us & you'll have the full force of the NYPD coming for you,' Tisch said in a post on X. Police said the suspects allegedly put a knife up to the officer's throat and stole his gun, iPhone, and wallet on St. Peter's Avenue at around 4 a.m. Saturday. Chowdhury was critically injured after he was stomped in the head, according to Mayor Eric Adams. The officer had just finished an overnight shift and was heading home. Surveillance footage shows Chowdhury, still in uniform, walking at 4:08 a.m. right before being attacked by two masked suspects. 'They approached him—one in front, one in the back—and they caught him off guard,' Adams said. 'One of them stepped on his face in a violent way.' The officer's brother-in-law, Gazi Hasan, said the family is devastated. 'The family is shocked about the situation,' he said.
