Video appears to show the officer repeatedly punching a man in the face and body
Crystal Cranmore has the details as video surfaces of policeman repeatedlly punching a man in the Bronx during Dominican Day Parade .The NYPD is facing allegations of police brutality over a video that shows an officer punching a man repeatedly during Dominican Day Parade festivities in the Bronx .
The alleged incident happened on Sunday as Vargas Jr. and his friends were celebrating the Dominican Day parade."We were complying with him as well and we were walking with him," he said. "And from that point on, he started to get aggressive with us." In a statement, Patrick Hendry, President of the Police Benevolent Association, said in part, "This individual resisted arrest, and the law and NYPD policies permit police officers to use force - including hand strikes - in order to take a resisting suspect into custody."
Vargas Jr. says he asked police why he was being harassed, which he believes prompted the violence that sent him to the hospital with a concussion and emotional trauma.
