A Brooklyn man has been charged in connection to an assault that left five officers injured at Roosevelt Field Mall.
Nassau County police say they approached Robert Reaves, 25, Monday evening when he was inside a vehicle determined to be stolen.
They say he repeatedly struck a police car before trying to flee.
Reaves then allegedly drove into an emergency services truck in Mineola, where he was later arrested.
The officers were treated for injuries not considered to be life-threatening.
