The Sixth Squad reports the arrest of a Sea Cliff man for an assault that occurred in Glenwood Landing.
On October 3 at 10:45 a.m., Nassau County officers from the Sixth Squad observed a Toyota RAV 4 speeding in the vicinity of Prospect Avenue and Little Worth Lane. Officers attempted to conduct a Vehicle and Traffic Law stop, but the vehicle sped away as officers were approaching.
A short time later, the vehicle stopped near the intersection of Shore Road and Glenwood Road. As officers approached, the operator of the vehicle, Milton Viana, 49, of 16 Altamont Avenue, exited and attempted to flee the scene on foot. One officer sustained injuries during the course of the arrest as Viana was violent and combative while resisting arrest. The officer was transported to a local area hospital for treatment.
Viana was charged with second-degree assault, third-degree unlawful fleeing, second-degree obstructing governmental administration, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, resisting arrest and multiple Vehicle Traffic Infractions. He is scheduled to be arraigned on October 4 at First District Court in Hempstead.
