NYPD Detective William Sample is rushed to police van after being
attacked by protesters.
Cops nabbed a demonstrator suspected of stomping a detective after they
spotted him in Union Square last night - clad in the same clothes as
the night before.
Sgt. David Rolon and Detective Rafael Pagan arrested Jamal Holiday, 19,
of Manhattan, after two other cops said they recognized him wearing a
white T-shirt and the same maroon-and-white Anaheim Angels
baseball cap.
"I couldn't believe he was just walking around wearing the same
clothes," Pagan, 34, an 11-year veteran, told the Daily News. "Your
blood rushes and your heart races. You just want to get the guy."
As the cops handcuffed him, Holiday protested, "Why am I being locked
up?" the cops said. Holiday was charged with assaulting a police
officer.
Detective William Sample ended up in the hospital Monday night after
being attacked. Earlier, Sample told a union official who visited him
at St. Vincent's Medical Center, "I'm hurting, but I want to catch the
guy."
The plainclothed Sample was riding an unmarked scooter into the crowd
of surging protesters at Eighth Ave. and 29th St. when someone pushed
him to the ground. The attacker then pummeled him repeatedly, cops and
witnesses said.
"I don't know how to explain what goes through people's heads," Mayor
Bloomberg fumed.
