BY ROBERT POZARYCKI
A Brooklyn man who knifed a
cop in the neck and shot two other
offi cers during an incident in
Flatbush last week was formally
charged on June 6.
Police said 20-year-old Dzenan
Camovic of East 22nd Street was
booked for attempted murder of a
police offi cer, robbery, assault of a
police offi cer, criminal possession
of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
Law enforcement sources said
Camovic allegedly approached two
offi cers on anti-looting patrol in the
area of Church and Flatbush Avenues
at 11:45 pm on June 3.
Without any notice, surveillance
video from the scene shows, Camovic
turns the corner and lunges at
the unsuspecting offi cers, stabbing
one cop in the neck.
That led to a struggle with other
police offi cers in which the suspect
allegedly grabbed one of the cops
guns and began fi ring at them, hitting
them in the hand. Camovic was
shot multiple times by additional offi
cers who came upon the scene.
All three offi cers were treated
at Kings County Hospital with nonlife
threatening injuries.
Police Commissioner Dermot
Shea described the attack as “cowardly,
despicable, unprovoked attack
on a defenseless police offi cer.”
The FBI launched an investigation
into whether this was a possible
terrorist act, and raided the suspect’s
home on June 4 as part of the
inquiry.
