NYPD officer suspended over bodycam video showing him kicking woman who allegedly rammed ‘full speed’ into fellow cop
NY Post
An NYPD cop was suspended after getting caught on video kicking a woman in the head as she was being arrested for allegedly intentionally ramming into another officer — and then yelling “F–k these cops!”
Accused cop-attacker Sahara Dula, 24, on Tuesday posted the bodycam footage on Instagram showing a group of cops taking her down to the pavement moments after she allegedly barreled her Lexus into an officer on the Upper East Side in January.
“Get on the floor, get on the floor,” cops are heard saying as their colleagues tend to their wounded brother in blue on the ground.
At one point, one of the cops punts Dula – who was face-down on the street – in her head, the footage shows.
“She went full speed,” one officer is heard saying of Dula seconds later, speaking into his hand-held radio.
The NYPD on Tuesday confirmed that the Jan. 17 incident was under internal review, and that the officer — whose name wasn’t released — had been suspended without pay.
