- The New York City Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau is actively investigating the actions of the two officers. The incident occurred at a liquor store in Brooklyn, where the arrest took place. Details surrounding the specific circumstances of the arrest and the content of the "disturbing" video are under examination by the department.

The NYPD has not released specific information about the nature of the alleged misconduct beyond the video's description.
