NYC Cop Arrested for Assault in Queens

QUEENS, N.Y. — An off-duty New York City Police Department officer was arrested on Monday night in Queens and charged with assault and harassment, according to police. The officer, identified as 30-year-old Serge St Fleur, was taken into custody within the confines of the 111th Precinct.

Authorities report that St Fleur, who serves as an NYPD police officer, was arrested around 8:30 p.m. and subsequently charged with assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree. Specific details regarding the incident that led to the charges have not been disclosed.

The NYPD has not yet commented on the arrest or confirmed whether St Fleur has been suspended or placed on modified duty pending an investigation. The case is expected to be reviewed by internal affairs and local prosecutors as part of standard procedure in cases involving police personnel.

St Fleur’s arrest adds to a string of recent incidents involving off-duty NYPD officers, raising continued scrutiny on officer conduct outside of official duties.
