Officer Assaulted During Arrest in Sloatsburg Incident

Ramapo police officers responded to a call regarding a potentially intoxicated individual involved in a dispute on Orange Turnpike in the Village of Sloatsburg. Upon arrival, the individual was found trespassing on private business property.

As the officer attempted to place the individual under arrest, the situation escalated. The suspect broke free and struck the officer in the face with a closed fist. Despite being assaulted and facing continued resistance—including kicking—the officer maintained control and successfully took the individual into custody.

The suspect, a 32-year-old Sloatsburg resident, was arrested and charged with Attempted Assault on a Police Officer, Resisting Arrest, and Trespass. The case will be presented in Sloatsburg Justice Court.

We commend our officer for demonstrating professionalism and resilience in a volatile situation. The case is now in the hands of the prosecutors and the court as it moves into the accountability phase of the justice system.

Meanwhile, your Ramapo officers are back out in the community—responding to calls, ensuring public safety, and not looking back.

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.

Police said officers responded to a reported stabbing at a residence on Vine Street in Central Nyack at approximately 11:50 p.m. on May 25, 2026.

Upon arrival, officers entered the home and found an adult male sitting on a bed suffering from stab wounds to his back and upper chest. Investigators said the victim told officers he had been involved in an earlier argument with the suspect around 11 a.m., during which he was allegedly stabbed in the back.

The victim reportedly returned to the residence around 11 p.m. and woke the suspect, leading to a second altercation. During that dispute, police said the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim again, causing serious injuries and significant bleeding.

Members of the Nyack Community Ambulance Corps treated the victim at the scene before transporting him to a local hospital for additional medical care.

Police identified the suspect as Catherine Doran, 64, of Central Nyack. She was taken into custody and charged with second-degree assault, a Class D felony, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor.

Doran was arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court and remanded to the Rockland County Jail pending further court proceedings.

Authorities noted that the charges are accusations and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
