On April 10th of this year, Suffolk County Police Officer Christopher Racioppo was in his marked patrol car when he saw a 1999 Mercedes-Benz driving erratically with no headlights in Patchogue.
When Racioppo attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver, Jonathan Nunez of Centereach, allegedly sped off and crashed. Nunez climbed out of his car and ran into a neighboring yard, where he plunged his knife seven centimeters into the officer’s left thigh, cutting the femoral artery and a vein.
Retired Marine Guillermo Sandoval, who lives nearby, watched the scene play out and ran to the officer’s aid. He helped tie a tourniquet and get Racioppo into a police car.
