#Teen suspect arrested in brutal robbery of NYPD cop

“Teen suspect arrested in brutal robbery of NYPD cop”

A teenager was arrested Friday in connection with the brutal mugging of an off-duty NYPD cop in the Bronx earlier in the week, police said.

Oshawn Logan, 18, was charged with gang assault and robbery over Tuesday’s attack on Officer Muhammed Chowdhury, who was jumped by three men as he was jogging near his Castle Hill home, police and sources said.

Logan denied any wrongdoing as he was being escorted by police from the 43rd Precinct en route to Bronx Criminal Court.

“I did nothing, stop talking to me,” he said twice.

The two other assailants were still being sought for the violent crime that police said is part of a larger pattern of 19 citywide robberies dating back to Aug. 1.

Chowdhury, 48, a married father of three, suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain in the mugging in which the suspects made off with his cell phone, keys and wallet, according to his family members and police.

Officer Chowdhury is pictured visiting the desert.
Chowdhury was found lying on the sidewalk and bleeding from his left ear after being punched in the head while jogging blocks from his Bronx home late Monday morning.

By Wednesday, Chowdhury, an 18-year-old veteran of the department assigned to the Central Park precinct, was awake and no longer intubated, but still unable to speak.

Chowdhury’s wife of 12 years, Nadira Sherin, had pleaded with police brass and city leaders to quickly capture her husband’s attackers and not let them out on bail.

“You cannot let these men out the same day that they are arrested,” Sherin told The Post Wednesday, referring to New York’s lenient bail reform law.

“Punish them,” she added. “If they release them the same day, that is not justice for my husband.”

Sherin said she relayed a similar message to Mayor Eric Adams and Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark when they visited Chowdhury in the hospital late Tuesday — telling them to “take [this case] seriously.”
