A video surfaced Thursday of an NYPD officer using force to protect his female partner from a hostile-suspect resisting arrest.
Police officers had stopped Saykou George whom, according to the New York Post, they had seen carrying a blade in plain-sight. After having his ID checked by the officers, George — who had two outstanding warrants and a history of violence — began to grow increasingly belligerent, eventually lashing out at the female officer when she tried to place him in handcuffs.
According to police commissioner Bill Bratton, Internal Affairs is currently reviewing the video of the Wednesday arrest, but in his, “preliminary review of [the video], [he] saw nothing inappropriate with the officers’ behavior.”
George was slapped with a variety of charges, including resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and criminal possession of a weapon.
