There is an outcry over a video of an NYPD officer taking down a bystander who was watching officers make an arrest for an apparent social distancing violation this weekend.

The incident was reported Saturday evening around 5:30 on 9th Street and Avenue D in the East Village.

As a couple was being arrested, video shows one of the officers break away from that arrest to walk up to a bystander with his taser drawn -- swearing and telling him to move back.

Video showed the plainclothes officer, who was not wearing a protective face mask, slapping 33-year-old Donni Wright in the face, punching him in the shoulder and dragging him to a sidewalk after leveling him in a crosswalk.

This is not going to go well in the neighborhood,or the nice police officers review.

Cop was probably pissed that morning inter PBA slow pitch softball game is cancelled and now he has all this pent up energy from his “supplements”.

The Hassidics (or Othodox) getting roughed up at funerals, this guy.

This is gonna get ugly real fast. 8 million vs 50k?

Never bet against the house.

If I was the victim of that of salt I’d asked the judge for a fair and just outcome and let me in that that pig habit out in a cage match

Terms would be 5 minutes no one in or out
