Port Washington PBA To Hold Blood Drive For Officer Injured In Motorcycle Accident

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- A Long Island community is coming together to support a police officer injured in the line of duty.

Port Washington police officer Michael McNulty suffered severe injuries while escorting an ambulance aiding a cardiac arrest patient on Jan. 28.

A fellow officer who worked with McNulty for over a decade decided to set up a GoFundMe page in support of the family.

As of Sunday night, the fund raised more than $77,000 out of the campaigns $100,000 goal.

"We never dreamed that we'd get the support we've gotten from both the community, the Port Washington community, Nassau County, the NYC police department and beyond," Adam Waxman, a retired Wantagh police officer, told CBS2.

The Port Washington Police Benevolent Association will host a blood drive at the Flower Hill Hose Company in support of McNulty on Monday.
