New York cop saves himself from being shot by jamming ring finger under hammer

New York, Sun, 09 Oct 2011 ANI

New York, Oct 9(ANI): A New York Police Department cop jammed his ring finger under .38 revolver's hammer to save himself from being shot in the gut.

 

Sergeant Michael Miller and Officer William Reddin were patrolling when they noticed the beige Lincoln Towncar speeding on Quincy Street near Malcolm X Boulevard.

 

The cops also noticed that one of the passengers in the back seat, Eugene Graves, was making suspicious movements near his waistband.

 

Miller felt the gun underneath Graves' clothes when he reached towards his waist.

 

"He told him to put his hands behind him, and that's when he started to fight," the New York Post quoted a police source, as saying.

 

Graves pressed his Taurus .38 revolver into Miller's stomach, but Miller grabbed the gun, and put his right ring finger between the gun's hammer and cylinder to prevent Graves from firing a shot.

 

"This guy pulled the trigger so many times he broke the sergeant's finger," a police source added.

 

Uniformed police officers quickly arrived on the scene to overpower Graves.

 

Graves has been charged with attempted murder of a police officer, assaulting a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a controlled substance, menacing, and resisting arrest. (ANI)
