Duo Assaulted Officers Responding To Domestic Assault Call: NCPD

WESTBURY, NY — Two Westbury men were arrested late Saturday after police say they assaulted officers who were responding to a domestic dispute.

According to police, the officers responded to a home on Remison Drive in Westbury at 10:50 p.m. for a call of a domestic dispute. When they arrived, police say the officers found Mario Yulan, 32, on the front lawn. Police say Yulan was verbally combative, and slammed the door to the home on an officers arm when they tried to stop him from entering.

A second man, Adolfo Yulan, 64, who also lived in the home, also pushed the door closed on the officers, police say. The officers eventually got into the home and placed both men under arrest.

The officer who had the door closed on him had injuries to his hand. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

Both men were charged with second-degree assault. Mario Yulan was also charged with criminal obstruction of breathing and third-degree criminal mischief.

They were both arraigned on Sunday, and both were released on their own recognizance. Mario Yulan had a temporary restraining order placed on him, according to court records.
