Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to the crime of aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Penal Law to modify the definition of the crime of "aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer." Specifically, the bill removes the requirement that the serious physical injury be caused "by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument." This means that the offense of aggravated assault on a police officer or peace officer can now be committed without the use of a weapon, as long as the perpetrator intended to cause serious physical injury to the officer who was engaged in official duties.
