"The detectives repeatedly struck Brown as they struggled to take him into custody. They pushed Brown's head into a glass refrigerator door before Brown ended up falling headfirst into a wine bottle display, sending more than a dozen bottles smashing onto the store floor."
"Video shot by witness Abelee Moran, which quickly went viral on social media, shows the detectives continue to strike Brown, who was bleeding from a deep cut to his leg, as they try to cuff his hands behind his back."
"Tisch said the videos of the confrontation were 'deeply disturbing.' Mayor Mamdani said the cops used violence that is 'unacceptable.'"
"'Officers should never treat a person this way,' Mamdani added."
The NYPD has transferred a captain, lieutenant, and six detectives from Brooklyn North Narcotics after a violent arrest incident involving Timothy Brown. The confrontation, which was recorded and went viral, showed detectives striking Brown during an attempted arrest at BK Wine Depot. The officers involved were placed on modified duty and stripped of their weapons. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mayor Mamdani condemned the actions of the officers, labeling the use of violence as unacceptable. The transfers will take effect on Monday.
