Police honcho threatened & hit me: driver
A MAINTENANCE man was stabbed by a co-worker inside Pace University in Manhattan Friday morning, authorities said.
The 37-year-old victim was knifed inside the school’s store on Park Row across from City Hall Park about 10:45 a.m., police said.
He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical but stable condition.Cops took a suspect into custody. Charges against him were pending.
The stabbing seemed unprovoked, sources said.
“There is no ongoing threat to the community, but an investigation is taking place,” the university tweeted after the bloodshed. “We are asking all staff, students, and faculty to please stay clear of the building.”
Both the victim and suspect were subcontractors working in the building, sources said. A LONG ISLAND man says a local police commissioner threatened to shoot him before throwing a sucker punch that bloodied his nose in an unprovoked road rage explosion.
Kevin Holian, 64, alleged Friday that Long Beach Police Commissioner Michael Tangney lost his mind Tuesday after wrongfully pulling him over for running a stop sign.
“He got out of his car screaming at me to get back in my car or ‘I will shoot you,’” said Holian. “There was nothing to identify him or his vehicle as a police officer.”
Tangney, a 40-year Long Beach police veteran, was enraged, swearing and honking his horn at Holian as the man drove home from visiting his 90-year-old mother in a Long Beach, L.I., nursing home.
“As I reached for the glove compartment to retrieve my registration, I felt a sharp pain to the left of my face,” Holian charged Friday.
Tangney told Newsday that he never laid a hand on Holian, adding that he hoped the other driver would face charges for filing a bogus complaint.
