Ferrari Driver Who Ran Over Policeman’s Foot Sued for $10M

Remember the wise Ferrari-driving guy who decided to reinvent the meaning of “sleeping policeman”? Well, the man, who happens to be Stephanie Pratt’s boyfriend, ran over a New York Police Department officer’s foot and not only was he arrested, but he’s also facing another pretty big issue.

The assaulted cop, 34-year Felix Recio from Queens, is suing Julien Chabbott for running over his foot for $10 million (around EUR8 million). The policeman has hired nighlife lawyer Sal Strazzullo and is now expected to sue for personal injury and raise the charges on Chabbot, as Strazzullo told the New York Post.

“Chabbott clearly had no regard for Officer Recio's life. Hitting him with his Ferrari could have caused serious injuries or death. I would like the charges adjusted to first-degree assault,” Strazzullo explained.

However, Chabbot’s attorney claims that Recio is faking the injury: “We are not aware of any civil lawsuit. Indeed, 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.”
