Police: Man Assaults Mom, Brandishes Knife

Sleepy Hollow Police report an arrest of a young village man who allegedly beat his mother and brandished a knife in front of both police and children.

Yan Carlos Abreu, 21, of Sleepy Hollow, was charged with attempted assault in the second degree, resisting arrest, assault in the third degree, and endangering the welfare of children after a domestic dispute reported at 5:07 p.m. Friday night.

Sleepy Hollow Police Lieutenant Anthony Bueti said Abreu was apparently in a fight with his mother, which was “pretty bad,” and then when police came to arrest him he “tried to menace officers with a knife.”

Bueti believed officers had to taze Abreu to subdue him enough to complete the arrest. Children were reported as present during all of this alleged knife-brandishing and assault, thus the additional charge of endangerment.

Abreu was sent to County Jail on $15,000 bond or $10,000 cash with an upcoming court date.
