BRONX - A sea of blue cheered the release of an NYPD officer released from Jacobi Medical Center after his brutal assault. The police commissioner also announced the arrest of the second suspect in the attack. 



The officer, whose name was not released, saluted from a wheelchair as he was escorted out of Jacobi Hospital to a crowd of clapping officers showing support. 


The officer was attacked near Westchester Square yesterday. As the officer was walking on St. Peter’s Avenue, two men ran up to him and displayed a knife forcing him to the ground. There they stomped on the cop’s face. 




The attackers ran off with the cop’s Glock 9mm service weapon. Investigators identified Tavern Hargrove, 23 and Wayne Lucas, 22. 


Hargrove was busted shortly after he was identified when his father allegedly used the injured officer’s stolen credit card at a local bodega. Cops plastered the suspect’s photo throughout news and social media. 



Lucas was busted in Virginia today.


“I’m pleased to announce that this afternoon, Wayne Lucas was taken into custody in Virginia just as the officer he so brutally assaulted was discharged from the hospital to the cheers of his NYPD family,” said Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch. “Come for one of us and you'll have the full force of the NYPD coming for you.”
