WATCH: LI Cop Who Violently Shoved Woman At Protest Faces Lawsuit

HOLBROOK, NY — An NYPD officer from Long Island caught on video shoving a petite woman to the ground during Friday's George Floyd protest at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn is now facing a lawsuit and internal police investigation.

The woman, Dounya Zayer, 20, of Queens, filed the lawsuit against 28-year-old Vincent D'Andraia of the 73rd Precinct in Brownsville. Several bystanders recorded D'Andraia's shoving Zayer, who hit her head on the ground and was hospitalized. She said she suffered a seizure and concussion and has been vomiting "nonstop."

On Tuesday, Zayer and her attorneys held a news conference at the Barclays Center and called for D'Andraia's arrest. The NYPD is conducting an internal investigation.

Zayer's lawsuit demands D'Andraia and Commander Craig Edelmen be disciplined for failing to intervene. In the video, Edelmen can be seen walking alongside D'Andraia, who asks Zayer and other protesters to disperse from the street. Zayer can be heard asking why as she films with her phone before the officer knocks the phone out of her hand. Videos from other protesters on the scene shows what happened next: D'Andraia violently shoved Zayer, sending her flying to the ground.

Jason Lemon, a senior reporter at Newsweek, was one of the onlookers who posted a video of the encounter to Twitter with the caption, "NYPD officer just called a female protester a 'stupid f------ b----' and threw her to the ground."

Videos of the encounter have garnered millions of views. Zayer told the New York Daily News she suffered a concussion and has been vomiting since the altercation.

Congresswoman Yvette Clarke on Monday called for the immediate removal of the D'Andraia and Edelman from their positions.

"They cannot be trusted with the well-being of our community," Clarke said.

Clarke made the comments at a news conference in Brownsville, where the officers work.
