The officer suffered cuts to his throat and mouth while eating a Big Mac he bought from the McDonald’s on Garrison Avenue in the Bronx late yesterday. He was treated at a hospital and released.

Police say they’re charging Garcia with first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon.
