Nypd Said They Can Issue A Summons For A Hit And Run When I Tried To Report An Accident

Card image cap

I was involved in a accident as a cyclist when a marked police cruiser struck my bike. After I got up I refused paramedic help and fixed my bike. After a couple of minutes, I told the officer that I was okay and that I was just going to go. After 10 minutes my hand started to hurt (i later found out that i broke it). I went to the nearest precinct and happened to find the same officers that I collided with 15 minutes earlier. I asked for a police report but they said that in doing so they could issue me a summons for a hit and run! They didn't say they would but idk for sure. Can they do this? When I left the preceint they didn't mention anything about it again, just that the report will be ready in a few days.

I'm already retaining a lawyer for my possible civil against against them. As of this post, they're still processing the report.
