Three New York City residents have been booked and charged with various crimes after what was supposed to be one arrest in the Bronx turned into an unexpected brawl.
Around 4:50 p.m. local time on Monday, New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers with the 52nd Precinct managed to track down Yoemdy Castro, a 27-year-old wanted for robbery, in the Bronx, reported daily newspaper AM New York Metro (AMNY).
During the arrest, two cops were approached by Nelson Jimenez, a 31-year-old man who police say was promptly given lawful orders to back up from the immediate area.
Video uploaded by Twitter user NYcars212 offered a clearer view of the attack.
Jimenez was ultimately arrested and charged with assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct, assault, harassment and obstructing government administration, according to AMNY. It’s alleged the 31-year-old kicked the same officer in the groin and thigh area as he was being arrested.
Police charged Castro with resisting arrest, bail jumping and unlawful possession of marijuana, on top of initial charges of robbery, grand larceny, petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and menacing.
Brandee Isom, a 25-year-old woman, is seen getting punched in the face by an officer around the 2:18 mark. Prior to getting socked in the face by the cop, Isom is seen attempting to get close to Castro, despite allegedly having been ordered to back up.
Soon after, the young woman is taken to the ground by two officers and arrested. On top of her possible injuries, Isom was charged with assaulting a police officer and obstructing governmental administration, as the cops claim she struck one of the officers.
