Judge convicts NY detective in bloody road rage chase

[joeybee12]

New York (AFP) - A New York police detective and another man were found guilty Tuesday over a road rage chase that ended with a banker beaten in front of his wife and toddler in broad daylight.

Judge Maxwell Wiley found detective Wojciech Braszczok, 34, guilty of second-degree assault, criminal mischief, coercion and riot over the September 29, 2013 incident in Manhattan that shocked New Yorkers.

New York police promptly suspended the detective pending termination.

Braszczok, who was off-duty at the time, was acquitted on two more serious assault charges, local media reported.

1. Most cops know not to assualt bankers. Even at that second-degree assault???

In some states second-degree assault is a misnomer and is defined at "causes or attempts to cause “offensive physical contact” to another." That could mean forcibly grabbing someone by the arm.

2. How funny that he is allowed to hide his face.

No perp walk for him.

I imagine there must be a mug shot somewhere though.

they forced him off the road, smashed in the window of his SUV, draggd him out of the car and beat him up with wife and baby in car.

4. "Promptly"? This happened almost 2 years ago.

They've been collecting paychecks this entire time.
