While responding to an alleged fraud incident, a Nassau police officer was injured in an attempt to arrest a Brooklyn man at the Capital One Bank on Hempstead Turnpike in West Hempstead on Oct. 30.  

Dao Sheng Hong, 37, of 55th Street, was allegedly trying to access money from a restricted bank account, police said, and when arresting him, he allegedly became “violent and combative,” according to police, and injured the officer.

The subsequent investigation found that Hong possessed several fraudulent documents.

He was charged with assault, obstructing governmental administration, two counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument and resisting arrest.
