New York: Albany Police made arrest in connection to assault incident, officer injured in the process

Albany Police say they arrested James Farmer, 41, of Albany and charged him in connection to an assault that happened on Friday afternoon.

Officers say observed a fight between Farmer and another male, and Farmer had struck the male in the head with a glass bottle and punched him multiple times in the back of his head. The victim and Farmer are known to each other, said police.

They say the 50-year-old male victim sustained pain and swelling to the back of his head.

When officers tried to intervene and apprehend Farmer, he ignored their commands, said police.

Albany Police add that during the incident, while Farmer was actively resisting arrest, it resulted in an officer sustaining injury to his hand.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏽

What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Call your senator and demand a public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don’t let McConnell get away with it again.
