Video shows a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer basically flattening a woman who slapped him in the face as authorities were trying to arrest a separate individual.
The incident unfolded Tuesday shortly before 5:00 p.m. in front of 174 West 136th Street, where police were arresting a 22-year-old man sought in connection with an attempted murder that had taken place earlier in the month.
While authorities effected the arrest, another individual was then arrested after police found a loaded firearm and a “large amount of a controlled substance,” according to the NYPD.
Things took a turn, though, when several people began “physically assaulting numerous officers.”
The video shows officers attempting to arrest what appears to be two individuals as bystanders shriek. One female then walks up an officer and appears to slap him in the face before he hits her back, knocking her to the ground.
“Why would you do that? That’s a little girl bro,” a bystander screams at the cop. Officers then helped the female stand up before cuffing her.
Police said one officer “sustained a minor injury to the head” but it is unclear whether the officer in the video is the same officer. Three individuals were arrested for assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and harassment, among other charges. A fourth person was issued a criminal court summons after spitting on an officer, according to authorities.

Rang that idiot’s bell.
It looks like he was part of the perimeter. With a crowd forming he can’t waste time arguing with one person, especially after she strikes him.
Though it’s obvious that there weren’t nearly enough social workers assigned to handle the situation. /s
Pretty stupid on her part for walking in where she was neither wanted nor needed. And it is not like the movies where the 95 lbs. woman kicks the crap out of a 225 lbs. man.
Little girl will probably never again do something so stupid again. Lesson learned.
Some women have this invincible attitude where they are protected regardless of behavior.
