2 Officers Hurt After Man Resists Arrest At Nassau Precinct: PD

A Syosset man is accused of trying to forcibly enter Nassau Police precinct and resisting arrest, causing two officers injuries on Tuesday night.

According to authorities, 19-year-old Marc Linden tried to forcibly enter the Nassau County Police Department’s Second Precinct, located at 7700 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury, at 7:55 p.m. An officer tried to speak with Linden, but he attempted to push past the officer and began yelling, alarming civilians inside the building, police say.

Linden then became combative and resisted lawful orders when officers tried to place him under arrest, police say. One detective suffered pain to his right shoulder and neck as a result.

Police say Linden then attempted to break free and lunge down a staircase while he was being escorted through the building. A second officer suffered injuries to his back and neck while trying to prevent Linden from falling down the stairs.

Linden was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, making a terroristic threat, resisting arrest, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. He will be arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
