The officer’s identity has not yet been released, and his current condition is unknown.

NYPD officials confirmed to Fox News Digital he remains in the hospital.

“In just the past month, we’ve seen some heinous attacks on police officers in NYC, including: one with part of his finger bitten off; another with part of his ear bitten off; and this latest vicious assault resulting in severe fractures to an officer’s face, among too many others,” Tisch wrote in a post on X. 

“Attack one of our own and you will get the full force of the greatest police department in the world coming for you, just like Taveon Hargrove does now,” Tisch added.
