A decorated NYPD officer has been suspended for punching his
three-year-old son in the face. 37-year-old Jason Sharp, a detective in the
Brooklyn gang unit, allegedly punched his child during a drunken argument with
his wife. According to court records, Sharp said “I had an argument with my
wife and punched the wall, I had a few drinks today." The boy was taken to
the hospital and treated for bruising to his right eye, nose and cheek. Court
records also show that he told police "My daddy punched me in the
face." Sharp's wife, Michelle, says that she went downstairs to seek help
because her husband had been drinking, then came upstairs to find their son,
Connor, with a bruised and swollen face.Sharp, who's been on the force for a
decade, has amassed 14 awards during his career. Twelve of them were for
excellent police work, and the other two were "meritorious." Sharp
has been charged with third-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal mischief and
endangering the welfare of a child. He's been suspended without pay for 30
days.
