Valley Stream man arrested after squabble at NYU Langone Hospital Long Island
A Valley Stream man was arrested after a violent confrontation with police at NYU Langone Hospital Long Island in Mineola on July 29, according to the Nassau County police.
Police officers were called to the hospital at around 11 a.m. in response to a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers learned that 37-year-old Christopher Piccoli had been involved in a verbal argument with a woman and had refused to leave the premises.
When officers attempted to arrest Piccoli, he resisted and ignored their commands. Police then used a taser to subdue him and successfully took him into custody.
During the struggle, two officers were injured as Piccoli became violent. Both officers were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, and Piccoli was also taken to the hospital for evaluation. Piccoli faces multiple charges, including second-degree assault, third-degree criminal trespass, and resisting arrest. He was arraigned on July 30 at First District Court in Hempstead.
