New video captures the harrowing moment a mob of angry citizens surrounded a man suspected of viciously slashing an 11-year-old girl in the head with a box cutter.
In the video, Shaquan Cummings, 30, who also allegedly punched a 43-year-old woman during his bloody crime-spree on Friday afternoon, is cornered by a crowd of furious Harlem residents.
A legion of NYPD officers rebuff the angry citizens, pushing them back and forming a ring around the alleged slasher, who cowers behind them in fear.
Text appears on the screen that says: 'They finally caught him!!!'
Desperate cops stand shoulder to shoulder and attempt to shield Cummings, who has more than 20 prior arrests, while the crowd seethes and lunges toward him.
At one point in the video, an irate citizen jabs Cummings with his cane.
'Back up!' a cop screams at the mob with a hoarse voice.
Tired of the crime plaguing their neighborhood, the Harlem residents appear prepared to take justice into their own hands.
'Don't let him go!' someone in the crowd yells.
Another cop rushes into the fray, and stands in front of the suspect.
'You're defending a ******* criminal,' a resident screams.

Committees of Vigilance.
In a small way I can relate to this sad incident..
An episode from the distant past...
Get a rope.
It’s them again, Yogi.
Everything has it's natural limit unless the hand of government gets in the way.
If it was in my neighborhood, some hunter would have found his skeletal remains in the Pine Barrens in about 5 years.
Vigilante justice is better than no justice at all
We be neein’some vigilante justice, fo shure! Fo shure!
This is, sadly, the only way to restore some semblance of justice.

The cops should just let the crowd have him. As it is, the guy will be back out on the street again shortly after being arrested.
He will be out within a week. He just cut up a white girl. It’s not a crime there.
