NYPD: Takim Newson Dragged Officer During Traffic Stop, Later Broke Into An Apartment, Stole Another Vehicle
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A man accused of dragging a police officer during a traffic stop in Brooklyn is under arrest.
Police say Takim Newson backed up and took off, injuring one of the officers.
The NYPD tweeted video of the incident, which happened Friday morning.
Officers later found Newson breaking into a nearby apartment.
The suspect then allegedly jumped into a car that was left idling nearby and drove off.
He was later arrested by Suffolk County Police.
Police say Newson was arrested earlier this month for a Feb. 14 shooting in Queens that critically injured a man, but he was released without bail by a judge after a court appearance.
