The NYPD is investigating if an officer overstepped his power when an arrest turned into a fistfight. The confrontation was recorded on video.
Saykou George was stopped by police officers because they saw a knife clipped to his pants pocket, according to WABC-TV New York. The incident took place on Frederick Douglas Boulevard near 131st Street in Harlem on Wednesday.
George’s companion, Jun Ice, started recording the conversation between his friend and two officers, one male and one female, on his cell phone. The recording was later published on Live Leak.
