Woman Fled From Cops After Assault: Nassau PD

WESTBURY, NY — A New Jersey woman was arrested late Friday after Nassau County police say she assaulted a Westbury woman, and then deliberately crashed into two police cars.

According to police, around 10:10 p.m. on Aug. 13, Luvleek Alexandre, 24, of Newark, New Jersey, pushed her way into an apartment on Union Avenue in Westbury. Police say she pushed her way past a 77-year-old man and began to punch a 20-year-old woman in the head, arms and body.

The man repeatedly told Alexandre to leave, police say, as he tried to pull her off of the woman. He tried to call 911, but police say Alexandre took his cell phone, threw it and broke it. She then grabbed a steak knife and threatened the woman, police said.

The woman was able to call 911 on a different phone, and Alexandre fled, according to police.

Officers began searching the area and found Alexandre's car, police said. The officers pulled her over, and as they approached the car, Alexandre fled, police said. A chase ensued, and Alexandre eventually turned from Brush Hollow Road onto Talbot Drive, where she was blocked by two police cruisers, police said.

Instead of stopping, police say Alexandre drove forward and hit the driver's door of one of the cruisers, and then backed up into the front of the other cruiser.

Police say Alexandre's car came to a stop after that, but she refused to get out of the car. Eventually, police say officers were able to get the car door unlocked and get Alexandre out. She was placed under arrest and taken to Nassau University Medical Center for evaluation.

Police say the woman who was attacked refused medical treatment.

Alexandre is charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree menacing, fourth-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree reckless endangerment and third-degree unlawful fleeing of a police officer in a motor vehicle. She will be arraigned when medically practical.
