NYPD Gets Assaulted With Debris While Trying To Save 11 Year Old Who Was Beaten Bloody, Media Lies, Says They Didn't Try To Save Her

The NYPD pushed back against fake news and Twitter saying a large crowd throwing things at officers prevented them from responding to a call about an 11-year-old getting beat up in Harlem.

The NY Post wrongfully wrote:

NYPD cops had a front-row seat to a five-on-one brawl — but let the violence play out rather than doing their jobs to break it up, The Post has learned.

An 11-year-old girl was slapped, punched, kicked and even shocked with a stun gun by a group of five other girls after a basketball game around 7 p.m. Sunday on East 125th Street near Madison Avenue in Harlem.

During the roughly 4-minute beatdown, cops sat idly in nearby cruisers — but they didn’t get out until the girl was bloody and bruised, a Post photographer observed.

Once video from the incident made its way to social media, the real story could be told.

The police later released this statement:

“Despite one newspaper’s account, our officers who came to the assistance of an 11-year-old girl being assaulted in Harlem on Sunday did not stand by. They were met by a large crowd that hurled projectiles at them and had to reposition, then called for additional officers.”
