Video circulating of a man who was tased by police after they say he helped another passenger evade a subway fare in New York City has drawn scrutiny from local politicians and community leaders.
On July 6, an individual opened an exit gate for an acquaintance to enter the 116th Street subway system, “evading the fare,” according to a statement accompanied by video posted by NYPD News on Twitter on July 14.
“Body-worn camera footage shows the man cursing at officers, refusing to exit the train, & threatening them. With additional officers on scene, the man continued to resist arrest, prompting the use of a taser,” the statement from NYPD News said.
