A New York City police officer accused of hitting a bicyclist with his car and driving off without reporting it was charged on Tuesday with assault and reckless driving.

On the afternoon of June 14, the authorities said, the officer, Louis Ramos, was headed the wrong way on Jay Street in Brooklyn, with his lights flashing and siren blaring, when he drove through a red light and struck the cyclist at Sands Street.

Officer Ramos and his partner, Paris Anderson, got out of their police car, dragged the cyclist to the curb, handed him a tissue and drove off without calling an ambulance or reporting the accident, said Charles J. Hynes, the Brooklyn district attorney, in a criminal complaint. Surveillance cameras captured the encounter.

The cyclist suffered cuts and bruises on his face and a fractured wrist. He was treated at Long Island College Hospitaland released.

In addition to assault and reckless driving, Officer Ramos was charged with leaving the scene of an accident where there had been an injury. He pleaded not guilty. He and Officer Anderson were suspended without pay last month.

The case comes amid heightened friction between police and cyclists. Two videos showing officers shoving cyclists to the ground in Times Square during group rides — one in July 2008, the other in March 2007 — were widely seen online. One of the officers, Sgt. Timothy Horohoe, was found to have lied but did not face serious sanctions. The other officer, Patrick Pogan, resigned from the force and was convicted of lying, but a judge decided against jail time or probation.

  • Black people need to have another channel to highlight all the racist shit that goes on. You guys have the money now. I'm SURE no one would have a problem giving it views and it would definitely invite a lot of advertisements. Bro from Asia

  • You have to understand that the police are now hired from a pool of low IQ mental deficients to protect the traitors of the NWO. THEY ARE NOT OUT THERE TO "SERVE AND PROTECT".....YOU!

    If you don't know that there are two sets of laws in this country then.....smarten up!

    These goons and thugs LIKE abusing people and they do it for......money!

  • The emergency lights on and the cyclist wildly rode across the street without paying attention, and was out side of the walk zone (though on a bike). The cyclist was an idiot, but the police should have reported the incident. The 2nd video they showed, with the officer tackling the cyclist in Times Square had a story to it. The cop got a call on the radio about someone fleeing a scene after an assault on his bicycle. The man had razor blades in his glove. The cop in that video was doing his job.

  • The officer has an obligation to report the incident and should have made sure the the bicyclist received medical attention. No, the officer will not loose his job. The officer and the Bicyclist should have both received citations. The cyclist for improper lane usage and the officer for not reporting an accident.

  • First off, the bicyclist was outside of the cross walk. About 2-3 feet in the traffic lane. The Office was coming to a stop before the cross walk, it just so happens the bicyclist was 2-3 feet BEFORE in the lane of traffic and outside the crosswalk. That being said that is no excuse for the officers conduct.

  • dumbo???

  • POLICE CAR HAD HIS LIGHTS ON, GOING TO AN EMERGENCY........ALL GOOD
