Rabbi accused of impersonating policeman 'because he hates slow drivers'

A New York rabbi, arrested for flashing a fake police badge and ordering a female motorist to pull over, said he was angered by her slow driving.

Rabbi Alfredo Borodowski, of White Plains, was charged with impersonating a police officer in June.

The complaint says he pulled his car alongside a woman’s in Mamaroneck, displayed a silver badge and shouted: “Police! Police! Pull over!”

The rabbi has denied claiming to be an officer.

Police said he told them he hates it when people drive too slowly.
