| Homeless man knocks out DHS cop at Harlem shelter, disturbing video shows |
| 2021-03-23 |
| [NYPOST] Shocking video captures the moment a city Homeless Services cop gets slugged and knocked out by a resident at a troubled Harlem shelter. The footage — taken inside the Parkview Inn on West 110th Street last week and obtained by The Post — shows the officer first confronting the irate man in the hallway. The officer is then seen trying to calm down the suspect. But the man grabs the officer’s mask and pulls it off his mouth and begins hurling punches, according to the video. The cop, who sources said is a peace officer assigned to the city Department of Homeless Services, takes several steps before collapsing in the narrow hallway. Another officer then yells at the attacker to stay down while holding a can of pepper spray as the man retreats into his room, footage shows. The suspect can be seen going back into the hallway clutching some clothing. He fled and is still on the loose, sources said. The officer suffered a broken jaw, which has since been wired shut and will force him to eat and drink through a straw for the next six weeks, sources said. The injured cop declined to comment on the case Sunday. The NYPD confirmed the attack to The Post on Sunday, adding in an e-mailed statement, "There are no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing." The incident irked at least one law-enforcement source, who questioned whether DHS was doing enough to help track down the attacker. "The urgency to do something is not there," the source said. |

| #2 These people are not 'victims'. Somewhere, sometime they made very bad choices which nearly everyone faces in life. |
