The NYPD has kicked off an internal investigation after an officer was recorded punching a man and another was seen kneeling on his neck after police said he choked a sergeant during a violent scuffle in the Bronx last weekend.
The officers had been conducting an investigation when the “uninvolved” 29-year-old man confronted them, police said.
