A jarring video shows a group of seven men hurling glass bottles at officers from the NYPD during an arrest in the Bronx that became violent and out-of-control.
The Sunday night melee broke out around 8:05pm, when officers from the 44th Precinct were informed of a large group gathering at East 168 Street and Sheridan Avenue in the Bronx.
Members of the group were observed drinking, playing loud music, blocking the sidewalk, and acting disorderly, an NYPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com on Wednesday.
Officers approached an individual who attempted to flee the location but was apprehended armed with a loaded firearm.
The shocking scene was caught on video. The incensed group can be heard shouting in English and Spanish, while one screamed, 'Why you push him? Why you hit him?' as officers apprehended one man who was down on the ground.
'Look they hit him!, Look they hit him!,' they yelled at officers.
A fist fight soon broke out between one of the officers and one of the men. Many bystanders used their cell phones to capture the wild scene.
Four officers sustained minor injuries, and four men were issued summonses, according to the NYPD.
Erni Taveras, 20, of Franklin Avenue in the Bronx, was the only person charged with assault in the group.
He was charged with assaulting a police officer, as well as with resisting arrest, inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and harassment.
Nineteen-year-old Yorky Hernandez from Burke Avenue in the Bronx, was charged with six offenses, including criminal possession of a weapon and firearm and unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.
Alonzo, Bryan, 20, of Echo Place in the Bronx was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, criminal possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.

New York City cops followed their political bosses, “hands off” orders. Now they’re paying the price.
This is the type of culture that creates mothers who regard their offspring as pieces of meat that would be better aborted. This is a culture with the family in the mire of social collapse where life has no importance and its existence as a matter of arbitrary feeling. Society pays a price because of it.
Why bother to issue cops firearms if they don’t allow them to USE them?
