Police: Motorcyclist, 19, Drives Recklessly, Injures Officer While Resisting Arrest

Police arrested a 19-year-old motorcyclist after he drove recklessly, resisted arrest and injured a police officer while his family members videotaped the incident in Hicksville early Wednesday, police said.

According to authorities, officers saw Helal Mohmand, 19, commit several New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law violations while he was riding a black 2007 Honda motorcycle eastbound on West John Street at 1:10 a.m.

Officers attempted to pull the motorcycle over when Mohmand pulled into his driveway on Hicks Circle, police said. Officers then told Mohmand he was under arrest and that caused him to push arresting officers into a parked car behind them, police said.

One officer reportedly injured his left hand, forearm and elbow. The officer was taken to a local hospital for treatment and was then released.

Police said family members videotaped the incident and attempted to help Mohmand resist arrest. The cell phone that recorded the incident was reportedly recovered.

Mohmand was charged with two counts of second degree assault, reckless driving, resisting arrest, third degree aggravated unlicensed operator and multiple vehicle and traffic law violations.

He was arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
