A man has filed a suit claiming he was almost killed by a retired police officer. Anthony Corrales of New Jersey claims he was driving with his wife and daughter, 10, last June near Resorts World Casino in the Queens section of New York City when a car cut in front of him after refusing to let him change lanes. He then claims that when he got out of the car to get the car's license plate number, he was mowed down by the car, and driven for several blocks at breakneck speed by the driver - a retired police officer with the New York Police Department named Robert Muller. Anthony Corrales has filed a suit claiming he was almost killed by a retired NYPD officer who was then let off the hook by fellow cops . The incident occured last June outside the Resorts World Casino (above) 'We almost crashed into him and the car behind me almost crashed into me,' Corrales told the New York Daily News of the initial incident. Corrales then said he got out of his car at a red light to take the license plate number, while Muller disputes this and claims the man followed him into the casino parking light. That is when things intensified between the two. 'He turned the wheels and I heard wheels screeching,' Corrales said. 'He hit me with the car and took off with me on the car and he was going fast.' Corrlaes claims he held on the windshield wipers to make sure he did not fall off the car, and a few blocks later Muller stooped and he was able to get off. He said of the incident; 'Seriously, the dude wanted to kill me. The look on his face was pure hate. There was an older woman and a kid in the car and I could hear them screaming at him to stop.' When he returned to his car however, police arrived on the scene and arrested Corrales for menacing behavior, harassment and cracking Muller's windshield. Muller meanwhile was let off the hook, claiming it was Corrales who jumped on the hood of his car after telling him; 'Get out of the car tough guy.' Video footage from the casino does show Corrales being driven on the hood of the car, but what happened prior to that is unclear. 'Instead of deterring Mr. Muller from future dangerous acts of road rage, the police ensured that he can continue to use his car as a weapon with impunity,' said Corrales’ lawyer Leo Glickman. 'They’re all pals and friends,' said Corrales of Muller and the police. Muller has yet to comment.
