Video shows a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer basically flattening a woman who slapped him in the face as authorities were trying to arrest a separate individual.
The incident unfolded Tuesday shortly before 5:00 p.m. in front of 174 West 136th Street, where police were arresting a 22-year-old man sought in connection with an attempted murder that had taken place earlier in the month.
While authorities effected the arrest, another individual was then arrested after police found a loaded firearm and a “large amount of a controlled substance,” according to the NYPD. (RELATED: NYPD Officer Left In Critical Condition After Being Attacked While Jogging)
Things took a turn, though, when several people began “physically assaulting numerous officers.”
“Why would you do that? That’s a little girl bro,” a bystander screams at the cop. Officers then helped the female stand up before cuffing her.
Police said one officer “sustained a minor injury to the head” but it is unclear whether the officer in the video is the same officer. Three individuals were arrested for assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and harassment, among other charges. A fourth person was issued a criminal court summons after spitting on an officer, according to authorities.
