Man ordered held without bail for incident at Forest Hills that injured two BPD officers and left him shot in the face

The man police say was behind the wheel of a stolen car at the Forest Hills T stop last week who injured two officers in a failed attempt to flee was ordered held without bail today pending a dangerousness hearing on several charges, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Eyad Abbas, 23, was charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (car), receiving a stolen motor vehicle, reckless operation, operating with a suspended license and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon resulting in serious bodily injury, the DA's office reports. West Roxbury Municipal Court Judge Maureen Flaherty ordered Abbas held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing July 29.

The DA's office provided the following account:

At around 8 p.m. on July 18 Boston police responded to a radio call at 66 Hyde Park Ave regarding a sighting of a black BMW X7 reported stolen from an Abington auto body shop. Upon arrival, two officers approached the vehicle and made verbal contact with the driver, later identified as Abbas. After a short conversation, Abbas suddenly put the car in reverse and attempted to flee, injuring the first officer, who had placed his hands on the door handle and fender of the vehicle.

Abbas then drove forward, striking the second officer, who discharged his service weapon, striking Abbas in the face and causing him to drive into a parked car. The officer was thrown onto the ground and sustained multiple broken bones and lacerations, including a large head wound that was bleeding profusely.

Abbas and the second officer were transported to local hospitals for treatment. A female passenger in the BMW refused to talk to police and was not arrested.

Innocent, etc.
