MANHATTAN — A truck driver reportedly drove through a checkpoint at Trump Tower Wednesday morning, injuring a NYPD Officer.
The driver blew past the protected area on Fifth avenue and sped away until he was caught at a red light.
The suspect is 44-year-old Carlos Arana, the New York Daily News reported.
An Officer eventually caught up with Arana and demanded he exit the truck. At that time, he shouted “f*ck you” and accelerated toward the Officer.
The Officer walked in front of the truck again in an attempt to write down the license plate and Arana allegedly drove toward the Officer for a second time.
According to a complaint, the officer says her hand was injured and she was taken to a hospital. She was not seriously injured.
