Police work is unpredictable and dangerous as we saw today when a violent criminal assaulted an officer in front of a station house in the #Bronx. Fortunately, our great cops weren't seriously hurt and they did a tremendous job arresting the man so he can't hurt any New Yorker. pic.twitter.com/scgmf7n6K1
