Bodycam footage shows the moment a man smashed a glass bottle over an NYPD officer’s head in an unprovoked assault on a Brooklyn street corner early on Sunday morning.
Video of the attack, released by the NYPD, shows a man in a tie-died t-shirt approaching a group of cops from the NYPD’s 67th precinct.
The man, named by police as Tyshaun Holloway, starts out by talking to the cops for a few seconds before suddenly swinging a glass bottle at the officers’ head.
He then flees in the opposite direction as the cops chase after him.
It is unclear what the man said to officers because the bodycam footage does not include audio.
Holloway, 27, of Hackensack, N.J., has been arrested twice in the past for assaulting police officers, authorities said.
The NYPD tweeted: ‘Early yesterday morning, cops from the @NYPD67Pct were on a fixed post to address community concerns when they were suddenly assaulted with a glass bottle in an unprovoked attack.
‘The suspect, who has been arrested for assaulting officers twice in the past, was quickly caught.’
Cops need to kick his ass & teach him a Lesson !!!!!
He has not come accross the Right officers yet !!!!!
The cop should have shot him dead!
The next one WILL !!!!!
Cameltoe probably bailed him out the other two times,
And the freedom riders don’t want cops to knee neck this trash. Coddle him and give him bus fare out of the station house.
