A veteran NYPD officer was indicted this week on misconduct charges linked to two on-duty clashes with civilians in Brooklyn – including a tense caught-on-video stand-off with a bystander who confronted the cop for wild driving, prosecutors said.
Quran McPhatter, 42 – who joined the department in 2005, according to online records – was arraigned Tuesday on a 13-count indictment charging him with assault, official misconduct, attempted assault, attempted coercion and menacing, the DA’s office said.
In the first incident, a passerby spotted McPhatter, who was assigned to the 72nd Precinct, driving “unsafely through a crowded area” of Sunset Park on 41st Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues around 6:45 p.m. Aug. 3, 2025, prosecutors said.
