Fort Lee man held in assault on cops
FORT LEE — A borough man has been charged with striking a policeman when the officer tried to tell him and his group to quiet down.
Kourtney Joyner, 20, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He was being held in the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Police Chief Thomas Ripoli said two police officers, Steven No and Thomas Keelen, will be out of work on medical leave for at least the rest of this week after grappling with Joyner early Saturday at Angioletti Place and Parker Avenue.
The chief said Joyner punched Keelen in the right eye.
The officers were taken to Englewood Hospital, Keelen with facial and leg injuries and No with leg and knee injuries, Ripoli said.
Two others in Joyner’s group were charged with disorderly conduct, the chief said.
