A Parks Enforcement Patrol officer was dragged by a pedicab in Central Park around 1:10 p.m. near 66th Street while attempting to issue a summons to the driver, Brent Greenberg, aged 52. The incident occurred at Tavern on the Green when Greenberg fled, causing the officer’s radio to become entangled in the pedicab’s wheels, dragging her 50-100 feet. Witnesses described the scene, noting the officer’s perilous position and Greenberg’s initial belligerence. The officer sustained minor cuts and bruises and was treated at Lenox Hill Hospital. Greenberg was arrested for violating pedicab regulations, resisting arrest, and obstructing government administration. Pedicabs are permitted in Central Park but not in front of Tavern on the Green, and the use of a motor on a pedicab is also prohibited.
