A cop accused of being unhelpful to a Brooklyn girl dying of an asthma attack shaved his head in an apparent attempt to throw off witnesses, the child's family charged Thursday.
"We think there was an attempt to alter his appearance," said Bonita Zelman, lawyer for the family of Briana Ojeda.
At least three witnesses claim Officer Alfonso Mendez, 30, had a healthy head of hair, albeit a receding one, a week ago today when he stopped Briana's mother in Brooklyn as she was rushing the girl to the hospital.
The NYPD traced the officer through his gas card. They say Mendez had filled up at the 76th Precinct that day. Witnesses then identified him through a photo.
