An NYPD school crossing guard was arrested in Queens over the weekend for throttling his girlfriend.
According to police sources, 20-year-old Bryan Merchan was charged in the confines of the 104th Precinct at around 5:55 p.m. on Nov. 30 with criminal obstruction of breathing and assault.
While police did not provide further details, a source with knowledge of the investigation reported that Merchan got into a domestic dispute with his 20-year-old girlfriend inside their Glendale home.
During the argument, Merchan allegedly choked his partner until she struggled to breathe.
Officers were called, and the crossing guard was taken into custody.
