NEW YORK - A video circulating on social media shows a tense physical encounter with a Parks Department employee and a young girl in New York City's Battery Park. It happened Sunday afternoon near the entrance to the Staten Island ferry.Authorities said it happened during a joint Parks Department operation with NYPD officers targeting unlicensed vendors in the park who were allegedly selling items unsafe for consumption.
The video goes on to show several people grabbing one of the girl's arms while her other arm is held by the PEP officer. They pull back and forth, and the officer, apparently tripping on the leg of one of the people pulling on the girl, tumbles to the ground, on top of the girl. The two then grapple briefly, before the girl is pulled away. The PEP officer, kneeling after tumbling to the ground, can be asking where 'everybody else' was during the encounter.
