Bosnian national pleads guilty to Flatbush attack on NYPD officers
Dzenan Camovic pleaded guilty Tuesday in Brooklyn Federal Court to robbing an NYPD officer’s firearm and discharging the firearm at NYPD officers during the course of the robbery.
The offenses took place on June 3, 2020, when Camovic attacked multiple police officers on patrol in Brooklyn. The proceedings were held before United States District Judge Rachel P. Kovner.
As related in court documents, on the evening of June 3, 2020, in the midst of a public health emergency and while New York City was under a nightly curfew order due to civil unrest, Camovic attacked several uniformed NYPD officers assigned to an anti-looting post near the intersection of Flatbush and Church Avenues in Brooklyn.
