3 officers of the New York Police Department who
helped with the orchestration of a traffic stop to enable a young man propose
to his girlfriend last week are under investigation for the act
.
.
According to the New York Post, two officers from
the 101st precinct in Queens pulled over Yehuda Coriat and his
girlfriend, Sorah Oppen, under the pretense of searching their car for weapons
and drugs. A
video of the incident was posted on YouTube showing the officers briefly
searching the car before popping the trunk to reveal balloons, flowers and the
wedding ring. Coriat then dropped to one knee and proposed with Oppen joyfully
accepting the proposal.
Coriat said he went to the police precinct in the
Far Rockaway neighborhood of New York and asked the officers if they would
help. He said the officers originally were supposed to be off-duty when
performing the stop, however, NYPD Commissioner, Bill Bratton said at a press
conference on Monday that it is now unclear if the officers were in fact not
working at the time. Bill Braton said, “Was it an on-duty or off-duty incident?
Was department equipment involved? What was the origin of it? We just don’t have
that information at this time. They could face discipline if it’s found that
their behavior was inappropriate.”
