September 21, 2016 By Comments
The former police officer who struck four pedestrians with his car on Bedford Avenue (resulting in the death of 21-year-old Andrew Equivel) after a night of drinking at The Whiskey Brooklyn this July has been charged with 26 counts. From Brooklyn Reporter:
At about 3 a.m., the Durango jumped the curb in the vicinity of Bedford Avenue and North Eighth Street, striking four people (one of whom, 21-year-old Andrew Esquivel, was killed) and crashing through a wrought iron fence into the front of a building at 161 Bedford Avenue.
Cell phone video of the scene shows Batka — a probationary officer assigned to the Manhattan Transit Task Force at the time — attempting to leave the scene, but being prevented by passersby.
