An 84-year-old Chinese man who ended up in the hospital after he was being ticketed for jaywalking on the Upper West Side on Sunday was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration, a law-enforcement official said.
周日一位84岁的华裔老人在曼哈顿上西区乱穿马路,随后他被警察拦下开具传票。目前老人已经住院,一位执法官称老人被指控扰乱社会治安、拒捕以及阻碍政府管理。

Kang Chun Wong, who lives on 97th Street, was allegedly attempting to cross Broadway near 96th Street against the light, the official said. An officer stopped him and started writing a summons when Mr. Wong allegedly tried to take back his license.
黄康春(音译)住在第97街区,据警方称他当时在96街区附近的百老汇大道试图闯红灯。一位警官拦住了他并开始给他开具传票,这时黄康春试图取回自己的证件。

The pair struggled for the license and the officer tried to place handcuffs on Mr. Wong, who allegedly flailed his arms, the official said. Mr. Wong suffered a cut to the back of his head and was taken to St. Luke's Hospital where he received four staples and was released, the official said.
这两个人开始为证件争执起来,据称警察试图给黄康春戴手铐,黄康春动手反抗。警方称黄康春头后部受伤,被送往圣卢克医院缝了四针,目前已经释放。

Witnesses said Sunday that when the man started to walk away, a police officer pushed him up against a building. The man tried to walk away a second time, witnesses said, and was pushed to the ground by the officer.
周日有目击者称,当老人想要走开的时候,一名警官把他按在一个建筑物墙面上。目击者说老人试图再次走开,但被警察推到在地上。

The incident is under internal review, said NYPD spokeswoman Deputy Chief Kim Royster.
纽约市警察局副首席发言人金姆·罗伊斯特说,此事件正在进行内部调查。

A man who answered the phone at Mr. Wong's house and identified himself as Mr. Wong's youngest son, said his father is a retired restaurateur. "He doesn't speak the English language, he doesn't understand the law too well," the man said. "He's never been in trouble before."
在对黄康春家进行电话采访时,一位自称是黄康春小儿子的人说自己的父亲是位退休的饭店老板。“他不讲英语,也不是很了解法律,”黄康春的小儿子说道,“他以前从未惹过麻烦事儿。”

He said Mr. Wong handed his license to police "and walked away and didn't understand what was going on, essentially."
他说黄康春把证件递给警察“并走开了,他根本不明白发生了什么。”

Recently, several pedestrians have died in the area while crossing the street. A 26-year-old woman was fatally struck by two vehicles early Sunday morning while crossing in the middle of 96th Street, between Broadway and West End Avenue.
