The two female police officers who are charged with assaulting a man while off-duty will be at Bronx Supreme Court's criminal division on Friday. Michelle Anglin and Kollen Robinson allegedly got into a verbal altercation in Williamsbridge with Marlon Smith, and it escalated to the point where Anglin allegedly sprayed Smith with mace and then both hit him when he tried to leave. A witness got the officers' license plate number and reported the incident. Another witness said the two women "looked very skilled at what they were doing." Police Commissioner Kelly said, "If these allegations prove true it's a horrendous situation." Smith, who needed 25 staples to hold her wound together, said yesterday, "I'm just happy to be alive right now."

As the NYPD is caught in the controversy of a police officer apparently shoving a Critical Mass bicyclist to the ground for no reason, another disturbing video has surfaced showing a police officer beating a man repeatedly with a baton.
