arrest

David Jakubonis, who was accused of assaulting Republican gubernatorial candidate Zeldin during a campaign appearance on Thursday night, is being held pending a detention hearing.

The attack quickly became a political talking point for Republicans.

In viral social media videos showing the Thursday arrest, the musician, John Ajilo, is seen being placed in handcuffs by several police officers at the same busking spot the performer has used for more than five years.

Lauren Pazienza, 26, is accused of fatally shoving 87-year-old Barbara Maier Gustern earlier this month.

The sergeant, Phillip Wong, is accused of punching a handcuffed man in custody and kneeling on the back of another.

One of the men was recognized by a former business associate who accused him of stealing nearly $500,000.

The officer dealt at least eight blows to the man, who was arrested for smoking a cigarette and resisting arrest.

Police said the attack was the man's seventh assault charge this year.

The man they arrested is now fighting to clear the conviction.

Officer David Afanador was charged with strangulation and attempted aggravated strangulation
