Abstract

As temperatures hovered in the 80s on Wednesday, a group of children frolicked in the spray of an open fire hydrant in the Bronx. Then someone among them hurled a cup of water or a water-filled balloon at a passing car, the authorities said, setting off a chain of events that left a New York City police officer in critical condition two days later. The officer, Ernest M. Rodrigz, 43, who was off-duty and riding with his 7-year-old son, stopped his Honda sedan at Tiebout Avenue and East 181st Street about 4:40 p.m. Wednesday after the water hit his car and splashed in through an open passenger-side window, Deputy Inspector Kim Y. Royster said. As Officer Rodrigz got out to reprimand the group -- which included some supervisory adults -- Keith McNeill, who was a passenger in the back of a car behind Officer Rodrigz's, got out and walked up to the officer, the police said.
