Man Injures 2 Officers After Urinating At 7-Eleven: Nassau Police

BELLEROSE, NY — A Bellerose man injured two Nassau police officers while resisting arrest after he urinated on the property of a 7-Eleven he was banned from, police said.

Officers were called to the 7-Eleven, at 250-50 Jericho Turnpike, Bellerose, for a disturbance around 12:50 a.m. Tuesday, police said. A male employee told police that Amrit Bhatti, 25, was no longer allowed in the store, police said. Bhatti left the store but returned shortly after and urinated on the property, entered a 2014 BMW and drove away, police said.

Officers tried to stop Bhatti, who reversed into the 7-Eleven parking lot, police said. As officers removed Bhatti from his BMW, police said he was violent and combative, resulting in injuries to two officers.

Bhatti was placed into police custody. Two officers were transported to local hospitals for treatment of their injuries, police said.

Bhatti was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, one count of second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, one count of resisting arrest, one count of second-degree obstructing governmental administration, and one count of disorderly conduct.

He was scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday at First District Court, at 99 Main St., Hempstead.
