Valley Stream man arrested after officer injured during disturbance response

A Valley Stream man was arrested after an officer was injured while responding to a disturbance call, according to Nassau County police.

Fifth Squad detectives reported the arrest for an assault that occurred Tuesday at 5:10 p.m. in Valley Stream.

According to detectives, officers responded to a 911 call for a disturbance. During the investigation, Ubaldo Arismendi Lagreca, 28, became combative with officers. Police said Lagreca refused to comply with instructions, ignored commands and attempted to leave the scene.

Detectives said Lagreca pushed an officer, and a struggle ensued, causing both him and the officer to fall to the ground. During the incident, the officer struck his left elbow and suffered significant pain.

After being warned, an officer deployed an Electronic Control Device, Taser. Police said Lagreca exited the residence and attempted to enter a locked police vehicle before placing his hands behind his back and being taken into custody.

The injured officer was transported to an area hospital for treatment and evaluation.

Lagreca is charged with assault, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
