A 31-year-old Monsey man was arrested after an incident at a 7-Eleven on College Road escalated from a disorderly conduct complaint into an alleged attempted assault on a police officer, according to the Ramapo Police Department.

Police said officers responded to the convenience store at approximately 8:45 p.m. following reports of an intoxicated and disorderly man inside the business. Upon arrival, officers recognized the suspect from previous incidents at the location and noted that he had previously been issued a trespass warning for the store.

During their investigation, officers learned the suspect had allegedly slapped a 15-year-old male while inside the store.

Authorities said the situation quickly intensified while officers were handling the incident. According to police, the suspect suddenly swung at the back of an officer’s head during the investigation. A backup officer intervened before the punch connected, helping officers bring the suspect under control without injuries.

The suspect was taken into custody and charged with attempted assault in the third degree, endangering the welfare of a child, obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and trespass.

Police said the suspect was processed and later released to a responsible party.

No injuries were reported among officers, civilians, or the suspect.

In a statement following the incident, the Ramapo Police Department said the case serves as a reminder that even seemingly routine calls can escalate rapidly and unpredictably.
