Outrage As Video Shows Screaming Man Arrested In NYPD 'Scrum'

CANARSIE, BROOKLYN — A young man screamed as a pile of NYPD officers jumped onto him in a Canarsie arrest caught on a controversial viral video.

Twitter user @TheVelvetRope_'s video showing the arrest late Wednesday has been watched more than 6 million times and prompted shock from viewers, including Mayor Bill de Blasio.

"I don’t like what I saw," de Blasio said during a Thursday press conference.

He later took to Twitter and repeated his displeasure.

"We still need to get all the facts about this case and a full investigation is underway, but I don’t like what I saw," he wrote. "It doesn't reflect what we’re building in New York City."

The encounter happened after NYPD officers ran into two men who appeared to be smoking marijuana in a Canarsie park, said police Commissioner Dermot Shea during the Thursday press conference.

The men, who are 18 and 20, ran off but officers managed to catch up with one of them, Shea said. That's apparently where the Twitter video picked up.

"I’m walking home from work and this undercover cop was holding this man," wrote @TheVelvetRope_.

The man can be heard on the video repeating, "I did not commit a crime," as more officers rush toward him. Moments later, he screams as they take him down and pile onto him.

"There’s one point in time, there’s a scrum if you will of officers... standing on his ankle," Shea said.

Shea said he would like to see "no running, no resistance at all," but made an addendum: "The end is what concerns me."

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams called the incident "completely unacceptable" in a tweet.

"Every officer involved should be placed on modified assignment pending the outcome of a thorough investigation," he wrote.

Shea said the man's knee was scraped in the scrum. Officers arrested him on charges of marijuana possession and resisting arrest, he said.
