In Central Park, a Parks Department officer was dragged by a pedicab for a distance of 50 to 100 feet, resulting in her hospitalization for cuts and bruises. The incident occurred around 1:10 p.m. near West 66th Street and Central Park West when the officer and her partner attempted to issue a summons to the pedicab driver. The driver responded aggressively, shoving the officer, whose radio became entangled in the pedicab’s wheels, leading to her being dragged as the driver fled. The police later apprehended the driver, who now faces charges including resisting arrest, obstruction of government administration, and various pedicab-related violations. The identities of both the officer and the driver were not disclosed immediately following the incident.
