NYPD probes officer’s push of pregnant Brooklyn woman
NYPD Commissioner William Bratton has to investigate yet another case of alleged police violence.
New York City police say they’re investigating an altercation between officers and a pregnant woman that was captured on amateur video.
The video shows an officer struggling with a woman who police say tried to intervene in the arrest of her 17-year-old son Saturday in Brooklyn. The woman is pushed to the ground on her stomach.
Attorney Sanford Rubenstein says his client is about 5 months pregnant.
The teen was charged with weapon possession, resisting arrest and harassment. His mother received a summons for disorderly conduct.
Two other men were charged with assault, resisting arrest and other charges.
Last week another officer from the same precinct was suspended after a video appeared to show him kicking a street fair vendor and walking away.
