The assault took place on a Bronx subway platform
Two men were arrested after allegedly attacking a police officer in New York City after the officer asked them to stop smoking on a subway platform.
After asking them to put out their cigarettes and trying to escort them out of the station, the men allegedly began to assault the police officer, which was caught on video. McClary and Jessamy were charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and trespassing. Police are looking for the third man in the attack, who walked away after the incident.
The video clip, which was posted on social media, shows the point where the two men were hitting the police officer across his face, head, and body. As they are fighting, they can be seen continuing to swing at the officer near the staircase of the elevated subway station. Another man comes up the stairs to assist the two attackers. As two police officers grab the men to place them in handcuffs, the third man comes back up. As McClary and Jessamy appear to continue to tussle with the police officers, he grabs a bag and then heads down the staircase.
Another NYPD officer assaulted in Bronx transit. Supposedly this occurred yesterday. As @NYPDTransit Chief Kemper has repeatedly stated the rise in felony assaults are mainly against cops taking enforcement action. Does that make you feel safe in NYC ? #TheFinestUnfiltered 🧵 pic.twitter.com/aPQcxYf3Fz
The Daily News reported that the police officers suffered minor injuries while fighting the men and were treated at the scene.
The NYPD’s X account posted a video clip of the third man who got away carrying the bag he retrieved from one of the suspects.
