Brooklyn Council Member Susan Zhuang pleaded not guilty to felony assault for allegedly biting a police officer during a protest against a planned homeless shelter.
The incident stemmed from a protest where Zhuang attempted to protect an elderly activist but ended up accused of biting a deputy police chief amidst police conflict.
The City Council is conducting an ethics investigation while respecting the ongoing criminal prosecution, emphasizing that there will be accountability following a full investigation.
PBA President Patrick Hendry emphasized that there is never a justification for assaulting an officer, insisting on accountability regardless of the individual's position.
