The man charged with trying to murder a Long Island police officer by stabbing him in the leg during a traffic stop pleaded guilty in the attack, and will spend 16 years in prison.
Racioppo suffered a laceration to his leg. A trauma surgeon who operated on him said the cop could've died within 20 minutes had people who witnessed the attack, including a Marine veteran, not raced to stem the bleeding. That former Marine, Guillermo Sandoval, rushed out of his home after he heard the Nissan crash into a tree in his lawn.
A Suffolk County police officer is fighting for his life after he was stabbed by a driver he was trying to pull over. Fortunately, a Good Samaritan jumped in to help save the officer's life. NBC New York's Pei-Sze Cheng reports. Racioppo spent 16 days in the hospital for the severed artery, 10 of which were on a ventilator. He at one point was in a state of"medical shock" and unable to talk, according to doctors. At the time, long-term impacts, including whether he'd be able to walk at some point again, were uncertain.
"He made a mistake and he knew he had to atone for it," his attorney, Chris Brocato, said. He added that Nuñez is truly sorry.
