Turning and turning in the widening gyre… Via NJ.com:
Authorities say they have no idea why Sgt. Mark Lee, an 18-year department veteran, burst into the apartment at Project Freedom, a home for people with disabilities on Hutchinson Road. Knocking the woman from her wheelchair, Lee also allegedly went after the boy and assaulted him as well.
“He went berserk,” the father said of Lee this afternoon. “He broke in the house, knocked her down, tried to get on top of her.”
“Then he grabbed my grandchild,” he said. The officer said, “I want the boy, I want the boy.’”
Lee was charged with official misconduct, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of endangering the welfare of a child, five counts of aggravated assault upon a police officer, and one count each of burglary, harassment and criminal mischief
The boy’s father, also in a wheelchair, was unable to help as the family’s home health aide fought back against Lee, the man said.
