I still think there's to much drama queen like antics on both ends. Driver needs to take his ticket like a man and as a cop you can give someone an incredibly hard time without risking your foot. 
A video has hit the Internet today detailing perhaps the douchiest interaction between a Ferrari owner and an NYPD officer’s foot to ever happen outside the Mercer Hotel.
The owner of the $257,000 red Ferrari 458, Julien Chabbott, accused of the foot smashing, could very well be the same man who co-founded the fittingly named “Line Snob” smartphone app (which aims to “tackle” waiting in lines—or crush it with a coupe tire).
In the video, filmed by bystander Damian Mory, Police Officer Felix Recio is filling out a ticket for Mr. Chabbott’s car for parking in a no standing zone, for not having a registration sticker, and for not having an inspection sticker, according to an NYPD spokesman and the criminal complaint.
Officer Recio told Mr. Chabbott “I’m writing you a summons. Please stand on the sidewalk,” according to the criminal complaint.
Mr. Chabbott, 28, of Midtown South, first tried to ****** the summons out of Officer Recio’s hands, then walked inside 147 Mercer Street, the address for The Mercer Hotel, the criminal complaint adds.
Mr. Chabbott, who was reportedly there with girlfriend (and former “The Hills” player) Stephanie Pratt, then returned to the car to announce “I’m leaving.”
Mr. Chabbott was “specifically told by the officer to not get into the car and to not leave, and that’s exactly what he did,” the NYPD spokesman added.
What happens next is, well, see for yourself:
Mr. Chabbott was arrested and charged with second-degree assault (a felony charge), vehicular assault, obstructing governmental administration, and disorderly conduct, the NYPD said.
As for Officer Recio: “He has an injury to his left foot and right hand, he was treated and released, and is out on an injury, out of the line of duty,” the NYPD spokesman added.
He plead not guilty to charges in Manhattan Criminal Court this morning.

I agree top this comment. I live in NYC & I hear & saw **** like this everyday.
This cop is a A-hole for writing a ticket in a valet space, hes probably saw this dude coming out of the car & is very very jealous. However, this dude was also stupid to try to move his car, cuz a $100 ticket is like few buck to him.
my prediction to the result:
This A-hole cop will apply for medical leave for few month & the NYPD will file charge "assaulting a officer" against this guy. Trust me, the NYPD will do it. They don't care about it since the City is one responsible for any law suit.
This guy will not be found guilty for the assault.........but he will probably spend $50k for attorney fees.

i cant believe some people in this thread.
there is no way in the world i would ever think to even enter the car if the cop told me not to.
but obviously if you have that much money, you think you are way beyond the law and what can a silly cop with his 40k salary do to you, right?

I don't care if the cop is being a ***** or not. You do what he says, just accept the damn ticket and go on with your life. If you can afford the Ferrari, you can pay the small fine. Regardless of whether you agree with the infraction or not, how dumb would you be to be driving away when the cop is giving you a ticket? That's just asking for trouble and I hope this idiot gets his butt kicked in the can. Can't believe people are blaming the cop on this.

honestly, that kid looks like he is spending daddy's money and hence such unreasonable behaviour... i cant imagine anyone who made their own money, acting like that - simply because to make it you have to be somewhat responsible person and have tiny bit of sense... which this kid does not have.

didnt really look like he ran over his foot maybe started to pinch the side of his shoe. Car didnt move up like it was going over an object and the cop was easily able to remove his foot. If he really ran over his foot pretty sure the cop would be limping.

i don't believe that was the case at all. i believe he was trying to leave and had no idea the officer's foot was near the tire. but as i've said, definitely a dumb idea to try and leave.
awesome post.
well, if his foot was under a tire it's easy to get pissed. 
exactly. 
agreed! he didn't do the right thing and if you're dealing with an a-hole cop, you really have no choice but to try to cooperate or work it out.
he didnt run over the cops foot. That cop is exaggerating and so is the title of this thread. He pulled his foot out pretty damn easy. The owner had the car parked in valet. The valet people parked the car their so when he saw the cop he wanted to move the car. Im not saying he should have tried to move the car but that stupid *** cop totally exaggerated and then abused his power. He is a typical NYC cop. This was originally recorded by Jason Thorgalsen ( auto photographer ) to show how the cop over reacted, not to show someone run over a cop.
awesome post.

LOL, @ you guys defending the ferrari owner...its actually pretty damn sad....
sorry but once you start bumping into a police officer with your car its over and RIGHTLY SO! He would have been justified in drawing his weapon when the car hit him.
