A man bashed an NYPD officer’s head with a glass bottle in an attack that was caught on body camera, authorities said Monday.
The officer was standing at the intersection of East 52nd Street and Snyder Avenue in East Flatbush around 4:50 a.m. on Sunday when 27-year-old Tyshaun Holloway approached him, the NYPD said.
After a brief conversation, Holloway struck the officer in the head with a bottle, police said. He was arrested and charged with assault not long after, according to police.
The officer was taken to a nearby hospital with cuts to his neck and ear, the NYPD said. He was released after receiving stitches and staples, police said.
Holloway was charged with assault, menacing, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and criminal possession of a weapon.
Authorities told Fox News he was arrested twice in 2016 for assaulting police officers.
The officer received lacerations to the neck and head which required stitches and staples, but thankfully will be OK.
24/7 your NYPD officers put themselves in harms way to protect this city, it's residents and it's visitors.

It seems that it is racist to say the truth but it seems that so many of these violent and hostile attacks are from people of African decent.
Another “white” supremacist hater.
Enough is enough already! President Biden is 100% right. FBI director Chris Wray is 100% right! White supremacy is thee greatest threat facing our Nation. These WHITE supremacists Trump supporters are completely out of control! We’ve really got to start rounding up all WHITE heterosexual males in this country and throw them in reeducation camps, if we ever want to achieve calm and quiet on our streets. We’ve got to enforce CRT is taught in every Yeshiva, including Chassidish ones. The blacks have suffered enough. Mrs. Emhoff has got to get off her behind and do something already about this WHITE problem! Where is Maya Wiley when we need her?
