The genius who tried to run over an NYPD officer that was writing ticket for said genius' illegally parked Ferrari. Said genius is being sued by said cop for $10 million. The 458 Spider owner has a name; Julien Chabbot. According to the New York Post, the 28-year-old Internet entrepreneur is being sued by officer Felix Recio, who claims Chabbot intentionally tried to run him over when he was attempting to write a ticket. Recio has reportedly retained lawyer Sal Strazzullo, who has motioned to increase the criminal charges from felony assault to first-degree assault with a deadly weapon. "Chabbott clearly had no regard for Officer Recio's life," said Strazzullo, "hitting him with his Ferrari could have caused serious injured or even death.
According to the report, the August 4,2012 SoHo incident left the 34-year-old officer with "a swollen foot and bruising." Recio continued, "I believe he deliberately drove towards me with an intent to hurt me." Recio is suing for personal injury and says he has not been able to work since the incident.
Meanwhile, Chabbott's attorney, Ben Brafman, denies the upped charges, stating: "We are not aware of any civil lawsuit... I would be shocked if a $10 million lawsuit is in fact being contemplated given the fact that we have developed information to the effect that the officer in question appears to have suffered no injury whatsoever."
It's hard to tell whether he really ran over the cop's foot or not, but he clearly was angry enough to throw the driver to the ground and call for reinforcements to haul him away. On a brighter note for the guy, his girlfriend, also seen in this clip talking to the police (albeit politely), happens to be Stephanie Pratt from MTV's reality show "The Hills."

my own thoughts:
The Ferrari wasnt illegaly parked as you can notice an orange cone right by the driver side. It is infront of luxury hotel and sometimes Hotel allow their customer to briefly park their cars at front entrance before going to actual parking lot. The driver should have just to take the citation/ ticket and then send a non guilty plea. In any case the no parking fine wasjust $65/-
The cop willfully put his leg in front of the car. He then injured his hand while hitting the windshield in a rage.The cop definetely looked like he had an attitude problem. Probably a grudge against someone because he's rich. But the driver is also wrong for moving the car. The driver deserves the ticket for illegal parking if it was, Plus what ever happens to him for running the cops foot over.
If you notice at the end of the video the cop is hopping around like his foot is in pain except its the other foot. the damage to the Ferrari will likely cost thousands of dollars.
