On Dec. 17, 2021, at approximately 9:20 p.m., police conducted a traffic stop on Brookwood Road near Alley 33 in Brooklyn Park. As officers were speaking with the driver outside of the vehicle, the front seat passenger, identified as 29-year-old Timothy Bilal Robinson of Baltimore, moved to the driver's seat and accelerated, causing the open door of the vehicle to strike the officer.
