A police officer currently suspended without pay over a pending assault case was found reportedly "reeking of booze" after crashing his car in Manhattan early Sunday.

Eugene Donnelly, 29, was charged with driving while intoxicated after allegedly crashing his Audi on Riverside Drive by West 135th Street around 12:30 a.m. Donnelly apparently struck three park cars before his car rolled over on its side, and a resident said, "You could hear it, man, it was loud. You could hear all the glass shattering, people screaming."

The FDNY needed to extract Donnelly from his car:

And Donnelly was removed from the scene on a stretcher:

One of the owners of a damaged car told NBC New York, “I ran downstairs and I saw a car in the middle of the street upside down. My car was destroyed. Then I found out it was a cop."

The officer is currently suspended without pay for a 2014 incident—just days after receiving a recognition from Mayor de Blasio for stopping a gunman while he was off-duty— where he allegedly attacked a woman after breaking into her apartment.

Donnelly had apparently been staying at a friend's apartment, but couldn't find his way back and instead broke down the door to the victim's apartment and hit her over 20 times before drinking her milk.

While prosecutors have accused Donnelly of having an "alcoholic blackout," Donnelly's defense has been that he has PTSD and was sleepwalking (video shows him running around the apartment complex in his underwear, buzzing on the door to get back in) at the time. He is due in court next month for that incident.
