In a video that some have called “the greatest thing on the internet,” a guy is seen punching a police officer before learning the hard way that the cop wasn’t alone. He had his trusted K9 partner with him, and the fierce fur missile was going to make sure the suspect knew he had made a big mistake.
City of Newburgh Police K9 Lee has become an internet sensation after helping his partner, Officer Roman Scuadroni, apprehend and detain a man armed with a knife. Officer Scuadroni was responding to a report about unwanted trespassing when he found 31-year-old Tony Mann pacing a driveway.
A statement from the Newburgh Police Department said Mann had entered the driveway and threatened the occupant with a knife prior to Officer Scuadroni arriving at the scene.
According to Times Herald-Record, Randy Martinez was leaving his home on the 300-block of Washington Street in Newburgh, New York with a friend when he spotted a man acting strangely, dancing around, making lewd hand gestures, and appearing to be on drugs. “I rolled down the window and was going to tell him he can’t be on my property, and then he takes out his knife, and I’m just like, ‘Oh, God, no.
What’s going to happen?’” Martinez recalled.
