This prosecutor was admitted to the bar — and stayed a little too long.
An allegedly boozed-up Brooklyn assistant district attorney was arrested early yesterday after he pummeled an EMT worker who picked him up on the Brooklyn Bridge, police sources said.
The medics spotted Michael Jaccarino, 30, at the foot of the bridge before 1 a.m. after responding to a 911 call about a highly intoxicated man, the sources say.
The blitzed barrister was leaving the pedestrian pathway on the Manhattan side when emergency workers confronted him, and he voluntarily entered the ambulance.
But when they tried to take him to Beth Israel Hospital, he went berserk.
EMT Teresa Soler, 46, restrained him to a seat, but Jaccarino allegedly ripped off his arm strap and smacked her with his forearms, knocking her to the ground, then choked her.
Soler suffered a black eye and bruises on her neck and chest. Israel Miranda, president of the EMTs union, said, “She couldn’t pass air and thought she was going to die.”
Jaccarino was charged with second-degree assault, criminal obstruction of breathing, menacing and harassment. He was released with no bail by Judge Marc Whiten at his arraignment hearing last night in Manhattan Criminal Court.
A Brooklyn DA spokesman said Jaccarino has worked for the office since 2008 and is suspended without pay. If convicted, he’ll lose his job — and his license to practice law.
