Police officers are looking for a phony policer who wrongfully involved himself in a traffic dispute at a Third Avenue BP gas station in the south Bronx.
Real law enforcement sources said the man got out of a Mercedes Benz truck (not exactly standard issue) after a U-Haul truck scraped his own vehicle at the 4068 Third Ave. gas station at about 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 18th.
That man then falsely identified himself as a police officer and requested to see the 30-year-old male’s documents, telling the victim that he was going to the closest precinct and filing a report.
He was last seen fleeing the gas station wearing a white shirt and last seen driving off in a black Mercedes Benz.
