The cop tracked the yelling to a group of people gathered outside Jomas Tavern at 112 Westchester Ave. According to the police report, a 37-year-old man was trying to entice a pedestrian into fighting by pushing him, yelling and clenching his fists. By the time the officer exiting his car to intervene, the man was allegedly standing in the middle of the street, yelling and blocking traffic.
