NYPD detective whacked in head with stick in brazen broad-daylight attack

A man struck an NYPD detective over the head with a plastic stick on Monday — in a broad-daylight attack that took place as the officer was investigating another crime, according to police.

The cop was processing the scene of a robbery in Queens around 11:50 a.m. when he was assaulted, the NYPD said. Footage shared by the Detectives’ Endowment Association showed the cop standing outside the crime scene and taking notes near some broken glass — when a man holding two long white sticks creeps up behind him.
