NY Protester Arrested After Punching NYPD Cop in Head on Video

A New York protester was arrested after punching a police officer in the head during a massive Eric Garner protest at the Whitehall Ferry Terminal days ago. The NYPD has identified the man as 22-year-old Yotameli Sayer, and the night of the incident he was arrested for assaulting an officer, as well as other charges like resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

In the video posted online days ago, you can see a crowd gathered around several police officers as one has an individual pinned to the ground. And then, not a minute later, one protester punches a cop clear in the head. For a few seconds after that, you can see the officer just staying where he is.

Police added an additional assault charge after seeing the video.
