NEW An off-duty NYPD officer suffered a fractured skull during a violent attack and robbery in the Bronx, according to police
The attack occurred just before 11 a.m. Tuesday, police told NBC New York, when the officer may have been out for a morning jog. He was discovered lying wounded in the street near the intersection of Olmstead and Turnbull avenues in the Unionport neighborhood.
The officer was not on duty at the time of the alleged attack, and police are looking into whether it might be part of an ongoing robbery pattern. He was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was said to be in critical condition with a fractured skull, police said. In a statement, Police Benevolence Association President Pat Lynch said"While we pray at our injured brother's bedside tonight, police officers across this city are searching for the cowards who did this to him. Make no mistake: we will find them."
