NY cop arrested for assaulting NJ cop

One of New York's finest was arrested early Sunday morning after pushing a Jersey City cop in the chest in the parking lot of a Downtown Jersey City bar, police said.

Michael Velazquez Jr., 23, of Tompkins Avenue in Brooklyn, was charged with aggravated assault, disorderly conduct and failure to disperse, reports said.

Jersey City Police responded to calls about a disturbance in the parking lot of the Sand Bar on Marin Boulevard around 3 a.m., reports said.

Police found a large gathering of men and told them to move along, reports said. But Velazquez yelled that he was a police officer and did not have to listen to the Jersey City cops, and shoved one of the Jersey City officers, reports said.

After being restrained, Velazquez was taken to the East District Precinct on Seventh Street for processing, where he continued to be verbally abusive and it was confirmed that he is a New York City police officer, reports said.
