A number of cops were injured when responding to calls about an emotionally disturbed man on Collier Avenue in Queens. According to the Daily News, "Sgt. Timothy Smith, 35, was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan after being sliced under the left eye with a switchblade." The cops were trying to subdue Meil Perreira, who was charged at them with a hunting knife. He tried to escape and Smith apparently fired a Taser after him, but Perreira still managed to slash Smith in the face and two others officers in the hand (a fourth was bitten). 1010 WINS learns doctors "are unsure if they will be able to save the [Smith]'s eye."
