LI Man Tasered, Arrested After Confrontation With Officers: Police

VALLEY STREAM, NY. — A Valley Stream man was arrested Tuesday evening after he was combative with police officers responding to a 911 call, police said.

Nassau County police said 28-year-old Ubaldo Arismendi Lagreca became combative with police officers while they were investigating the location of the 911 call and refused to comply with instructions. Lagreca also attempted to leave the scene and pushed an officer, which began a physical struggle, police said.

After a warning, Lagreca was tasered, police said. Lagreca then left the residence police had responded to, tried to enter a locked police vehicle and ultimately put his hand behind his back to be arrested, police said.

One officer injured his elbow in a fall during the struggle and was hospitalized for evaluation and treatment, police said. Lagreca is charged with second-degree assault, resisting arrest and second-degree obstructing governmental administration and will be arraigned Wednesday, police said.
