LAPD officer Richard Podkowski, 28, was booked for assault with a deadly weapon on May 21, according to jail records and a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
Early Tuesday morning, Podkowski was arrested and transported to an LAPD jail. He was released on $30,000 bond that same day.
A day after the incident the LAPD said in a statement that they were prompted to respond to the 8600 block of Belford Avenue after “a community member generated a radio call of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon.” Police later identified the suspect as “off-duty Officer Richard Podkowski.”
Investigators booked Podkowski on California Penal Code Section 245 – Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
The Los Angeles Times reported that an LAPD spokesperson has confirmed that, “no one was hospitalized because of the incident.” But the spokesperson “declined to discuss the type of weapon used or the circumstances of the assault.”
