US Marshals bust hit-and-run driver who injured NYPD cop at rowdy NYC street gathering

The injured officer was rushed to Lincoln Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, according to police.

A hit-and-run driver who rammed into a uniformed NYPD cop responding to a rowdy weekend gathering in the Bronx was arrested early Monday, authorities said.

Eduardo Paulino, 31, was picked up by the US Marshals Service and the NYPD and charged with attempted murder of a police officer in connection with the Saturday night mayhem, law enforcement sources said.

Paulino – who has one previous arrest for an assault just last month – tried to make a quick getaway when cops responded to Garrison Avenue and Whittier Street in the South Bronx after receiving a 911 call about a large crowd and loud music, according to cops and sources.

He allegedly hopped behind the wheel of a white Honda Pilot and sped off, hitting a uniformed officer in his path, cops said.

The injured officer was rushed to Lincoln Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, according to police.

Paulino was also charged with assault, vehicular assault, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and disorderly conduct, the sources said.

"There is nowhere to hide in New York for individuals who choose violence against law enforcement,” said US Marshal Ricky J. Patel. “We promised a swift and decisive capture, and through the combined, relentless efforts of the US Marshals and our partners, we delivered.”

“If you assault those who wear the shield to protect this city, the full weight of federal and local law enforcement will find you.”
