Cop attacker arraigned
The 20-year-old Richmond Hill man who was shot in both legs by an off-duty police sergeant — after damaging the officer’s house and threatening to physically assault him with a metal pipe — has been arraigned in connection with the incident.
Talwinder Singh, 20, of 101-58 116th Street, was arraigned on charges of second-degree attempted burglary, second-degree attempted assault, fourth degree criminal mischief, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and menacing. Bail has been set at $5,000. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison.
According to the criminal charges, Singh went to Sergeant Quillian Virgil’s house at approximately 8:10 p.m. on February 23 and began punching, kicking and swinging a three-foot metal pipe at his front door, shattering the window pane and denting the metal portion of the door. Believing someone was breaking into his house, Virgil opened the door and confronted the defendant who allegedly began running toward the sergeant while swinging the pipe above his head. Singh was only stopped when Virgil turned and fired his handgun at the defendant, hitting him once in each leg.
