Muhammed Chowdhury Biography
Who is Muhammed Chowdhury ?
A teenager was arrested Friday in connection with the brutal assault of an off-duty NYPD cop in the Bronx earlier in the week, police said.
Oshawn Logan, 18, was charged with gang assault and robbery in the Tuesday attack on Officer Muhammed Chowdhury, who was assaulted by three men while jogging near his Castle Hill home, police and sources said.
Logan denied any wrongdoing as police escorted him from the 43rd Precinct en route to the Bronx Criminal Court.
“I didn’t do anything, stop talking to me,” he said twice.
The other two assailants were still being wanted for the violent crime which police say is part of a larger pattern of 19 citywide robberies dating back to August 1.
Chowdhury, 48, a married father of three, suffered a skull fracture and bleeding on the brain in the assault in which the suspects took his cell phone, keys and wallet, according to his relatives and police.
Chowdhury was found lying on the sidewalk bleeding from his left ear after being punched in the head as he jogged blocks from his Bronx home Monday morning.
He was found lying on the sidewalk bleeding from his left ear after being punched in the head and hospitalized in critical condition.
By Wednesday, Chowdhury, an 18-year department veteran assigned to the Central Park Police Station, was awake and no longer intubated but still unable to speak.
Chowdhury’s wife
Chowdhury’s wife of 12 years, Nadira Sherin, had pleaded with senior police officers and city leaders to quickly catch her husband’s attackers and not release them on bail.
Police were searching for two other suspects in the assault on Muhammed Chowdhury.
“You can’t let these guys out the same day they’re arrested,” Sherin told The Post on Wednesday, referring to New York’s lenient bail reform law.
“Punish them,” she added. “If they are released on the same day, that is not justice for my husband.”
Sherin said she delivered a similar message to Mayor Eric Adams and Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark when they visited Chowdhury in the hospital Tuesday night, telling them to “take [this case] seriously.”
