Another Cop Doused With Water In Queens, NYPD Says

SOUTH RICHMOND HILL, QUEENS — Yet another person is wanted for throwing water on a police officer.

Police said Friday they're looking for a man who threw water on a traffic cop working in Queens earlier this month.

The NYPD officer was on duty by 109-02 101st Ave. the afternoon of Sept. 16 when a man started cursing at him, splashed him with water from a bottle and fled, according to police.

Officers want to question the man about "obstructing governmental administration."

Widely-publicized videos of people dumping buckets of water on cops in Harlem, Brownsville and The Bronx started hitting social media this summer and have since led to several arrests, according to the NYPD and news reports.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of this male is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, or on Twitter @ NYPDTips.

All calls are strictly confidential.
