#NYPD cop tasers Black Lives Matter protester during Bay Ridge clash

July 13, 2020 | 1:15pm

An NYPD cop fired a Taser at a Black Lives Matter protester during a clash between that group and a pro-police contingent in Bay Ridge Sunday night, dramatic video shows.

The video begins as the man yells at an officer, who tells him to get back before shoving him.

Another cop then runs in from off-camera and body checks the man.

The protester yells “Y’all see this?” to someone taking video, and then the body check cop can be seen pulling out a Taser and firing it at the man from about 3 feet away.

The man convulses on the ground before yanking out the Taser prongs and standing up as a group of cops try to handcuff him on the front windshield of a car.

He yells at officers to get off of him and at one point cries, “You’re breaking my arm!”

In a tweet, City Councilman Justin Brannan, whose district includes Bay Ridge, wrote, “I have reached out to @NYCMayor @NYPDnews and have asked for a full investigation.”

He earlier wrote that he was “disturbed” by the violence and that he would be meeting with the local 68th Precinct on Monday.

In a statement, an NYPD spokeswoman said the department is “aware of the video” and “it is under review.”

Police said Monday morning that the man, who is still awaiting charges, chucked a helmet at a uniformed police officer in the moments before the clip began.

The NYPD said Sunday night two people were arrested as standoffs between demonstrators on each side descended into chaos. It wasn’t immediately clear if the protester who was Tased is included in that number.
