BLM Protest Erupts In NY As Video Surfaces of Guyanese With Police Knee on Head (VIDEO INSIDE)

A lengthier video of an arrest that showed a city police officer appearing to kneel on a suspect’s neck has emerged.

New footage shows the officer punching Yugeshwar Gaindarpersaud six times, his knee on the neck of the suspect as Gaindarpersaud wailed and writhed Monday on a concrete slab.

“Put your hands behind your back,” said the officer while extending a pair of handcuffs.

After repeatedly telling Gaindarpersaud’s father Jaindra Gaindarpersaud — who filmed the altercation —  to back up, the officer lifted Yugeshwar Gaindarpersaud’s right leg and began punching him in the torso, yelling, “Put your hands behind your [expletive] back.”

While Gaindarpersaud had been squirming, he was not moving at the time the officer began to deliver the blows.

As the officer punched him, Jaindra and Yugeshwar Gaindarpersaud’s wife yelled in protest.

Once the officer stopped punching, he called to off-screen officers that he was in the backyard, which was still festooned with red, white and blue balloons from the Fourth of July.

Approximately 20 seconds later, two additional officers approached, one of whom secured Gaindarpersaud’s legs while the other placed him in handcuffs.

Once secured, only then did the officer remove his knee from Gaindarpersaud’s neck area.

Two additional officers approached and told Jaindra to back up further before Gaindarpersaud was pulled to his feet, led away in handcuffs and placed into a patrol car parked farther down North Brandywine Avenue nearly outside of the camera’s range.  

The initial altercation appeared to last just over two minutes, although it’s unclear how long Gaindarpersaud was being pinned to the ground before his father began filming.

City police have declined to identify the officer.

The remainder of the nine-minute, nine-second video depicts Jaindra repeatedly asking the officers milling around his driveway and backyard if they had a warrant, all of whom appeared to ignore him.

The footage was posted on social media late Monday and is a continuation of the 23-second video clip Jaindra initially released earlier that morning, prompting an investigation by the department’s Office of Professional Standards.

City police were initially called to the residence to investigate a neighborhood dispute over slashed tires.

Gaindarpersaud, 31, maintains his innocence and was ultimately charged with disorderly conduct.
