Kevin Pettiway says he was an innocent bystander the night of August 5 when he was punched in the face by an NYPD Officer.
Pettiway says he was leaving his mother’s house near Washington Avenue in the Bronx as police were responding to the shooting of two teens in the area.
“The officer was telling everyone to move,” Pettiway explained. “He started shoving everyone. He started shoving me, however I did turn around and say, ‘why are you shoving me?’ From there he didn’t say anything he didn’t ask no questions he started punching me in my face.”
