On a MacDougal Street sidewalk near Greenwich Village in NYC an officer attempting to remove the homeless who are using the street as a camp was recorded knocking out one of the homeless individuals who refused to leave and bit the officers hand.
The crowd watching the entire confrontation claimed the officers were the ones provoking the individual by forcing him to move from the street. Videos from several angles show the officers repeatedly trying to get the individual to move to no avail before the physical portion occurred.
Currently the NYPD as well as the Mayor are refusing to speak out on the event.
