STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- An MTA cop from Brooklyn is accused of dumping his hit-and-run victim on Staten Island and threatening him to stay quiet about the incident, officials said.

On May 26, 2016, at around 7 p.m., Lawrence Ffrench, 42, a Bridges and Tunnels officer, allegedly hit the victim, 41, while he was crossing a street in the crosswalk to get to the S53 bus stop in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office.

The victim was thrown in the air and landed on the ground, authorities said.

Ffrench then allegedly placed the injured man in the back of his MTA car, drove over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and dumped him near Tompkins Avenue and Wadsworth Avenue.

He then pulled the victim out of the car and placed him on the side of the road, officials allege.

The officer allegedly got in the victim's face and told him not to tell anyone the defendant struck him, and promised to call 911, according to the district attorney's office.

The victim, authorities said, called 911 and Ffrench returned to the scene in his personal vehicle to tell the man not to tell anyone the defendant hit him.

Ffrench was arraigned Thursday in Brooklyn Supreme Court and is charged with leaving the scene of an incident without reporting as a felony and third-degree intimidating a witness, officials said.

He was released without bail and ordered to return to court on Aug. 23. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison.
