News 12 has learned the man has 32 stitches, a broken nose and is getting an MRI to check for a brain injury. People rallied outside the liquor store today including Hawk Newsome, co-founder of Black Lives Matter New York .

"Imagine beating someone so mercilessly and being caught on camera and you have the bravado to keep going," said Newsome.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch released a statement on X, confirming that the officers are now on modified duty.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has also released a statement confirming the investigation, saying the actions of the officers as “disturbing” and “unacceptable.”

Police say the man was charged with resisting arrest, but a spokesperson with the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office tells News 12 those charges will be dropped.
