Terrifying video of the early Saturday morning robbery and beating of a uniformed off-duty New York City housing police officer in the Bronx was posted Sunday night by a retired NYPD cop.
The 27-year-old officer had finished his shift and was walking to his car around 4 a.m. when he was attacked.

Your a policeman your supposed to shoot them
I half expected this to be a female cop.....I suspect this guy is a backfill for the seasoned veteran cops that got fed up with no cash bail and the rest of the nyc utopian policing and relocated to common sense states like mine.
"A suspect has been identified and his father arrested following a violent armed robbery of an off-duty cop in New York City this weekend, according to reports."
No race mentioned anywhere in the lame-stream media (of course!) so Ann Coulter's rule applies.
Will be interesting to see if the charges will be dropped in Alan Bragg's NY City.
I continue to be amazed at how the NYPD is getting any recruits at all. Who would want to work in that hell hole?
(Not blaming the NYPD. Most definitely blaming the Democrats who run the place.)
Looks like a real sweetheart.
On the phone in the Bronx at 4:00am?
Don’t they teach situational awareness in the academy?
“A suspect has been identified and his father arrested following a violent armed robbery of an off-duty cop in New York City this weekend, according to reports.”
The violent criminal’s father was arrested??
“…The cop, who was not immediately identified, suffered a fractured eye socket after being kicked in the head while lying on the floor….
*****************************
“lying on the floor” When did people begin to refer to the outside ground as “the floor”? I’ve notice this several times recently.
Cop looks like a big slob, for 27. Situational awareness learned in the school of hard knocks. He could as easily have been killed.
AI writing?
“Hargrove’s father has since been arrested for using the officer’s stolen credit card at multiple bodegas in the Bronx.”
I thought Hargrove the younger had been arrested:
“NYPD identified one suspect as 23-year-old Taveon Hargrove...Hargrove and the other robbery suspect remain on the loose, according to the latest available updates.”
The kick to his face literally left a (shoe imprint) mark.
He has a fractured eye socket.
Prayers up for his quick and complete recovery.
LOL! I’ve heard it a lot in vids, movies, news. I mean WTAH?
The rotten apple sure didn’t fall far from that tree.
The original article mentions two attackers, so perhaps it was a father-and-son outing? And yes, as others have mentioned, the victim is not exactly the picture of manly health and vigor, certainly not for a 27-year-old. I can see why the attackers weren’t dissuaded by the victim’s NYPD uniform.
Guess who the ny police union supports come local election time?
Parking garage?
It’s New York City. This is what the citizens of New York City voted for! This is what their elected and appointed officials encourage and allow to happen and then reduce or drop charges against those who commit such crimes.
Unless they are masochistic, trained and competent police need to find employment elsewhere.
Reporters have a 500 word vocabulary. Apparently “ground” isn’t in it
