A former New York City police commissioner has been accused of backing his SUV into a pregnant woman, then driving away.
Police say Howard Safir bumped the woman with his Cadillac Friday afternoon in Manhattan.
She was treated for a bruised shoulder, but wasn't seriously hurt.
Police detectives decided not to press charges.
They say Safir didn't know he'd hit someone.
The victim tells a different story.
Joanne Valarezo tells The New York Times that both she and a passenger in the SUV yelled at the driver for being careless before he drove away.
She says she didn't know who he was until informed by a reporter.
Safir was police commissioner from 1996 to 2000.
Calls to his homes in New York and Maryland weren't immediately returned.

I am confused. Isn't the victim the one that decides whether or not to press charges? And what is the victim's story?

This is horrible, hit & run is bad enough, but for an Ex Police chief to do that is reprehensible. Was he a drunk or druggie now?
