'Big Baby' Would Never Mow Down Traffic Cop, Says Priest

As the traffic agent who had both of her legs broken when she was run down while issuing a ticket to a double parked car recovers, the local priest of the man accused of doing it is coming out to defend him. Anthony Grullon has been charged with attempted murder for mowing down Sabrina Rosada and is being held on $100,000 bail. He was supposedly inside Heavenly Vision Christian Center in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx when he came rushing out to hop in his Ford Taurus. Grullon, who is 5'8" and 250 pounds, was caught on surveillance video racing out to his car. Robert Pinero, the pastor at Heavenly Vision, says that the collision must have been an accident. He told the Post, "This guy's like a big baby. Everybody loves him. I don't believe he meant to kill that officer. He was trying to flee from getting a ticket." Rosada is still in guarded condition at St. Barnabas Hospital, where her aunt says she is doing much better.
