A police officer who was riding face down, spread-eagle, on the hood of an NYPD patrol car flew off when the driver stopped the car abruptly. The driver, Officer Michael Gargano, has been suspended by the NYPD. Both officers are from Brooklyn's 70th Precinct.
Witnesses called the cops' actions "horseplay."
Officer Ahmed Shuhel suffered serious, but not life-threatening, head injuries. He was taken to Lutheran Medical Center. He too may face disciplinary action.
The incident occurred at about 7:50 a.m. on Monday on Seton Place, near Parkville Avenue, in Kensington.
