An attack on two police officers was caught on video as they attempted toš make anšŗ arrest in Harlem Friday night.
The 36-second ceāllphone video starts off with a man pushing a cop from the 32nd Precinct trying to handcuff his sister near 144th Street and 8th Avenue around 11:30 p.m.
āThatās my sister,ā the man, identą¹ified as cops as Terrell Mitchell, 26, can be hš¦eard yelling before he sucker punches the male officer twice in the back of the head, knocking off his glasses.
According to police, Mitchell’s sister, Asia Banks interfered and started pushing cops after they stopped her brother for having an open bottle of Hennessy cognac.
Banks, 38, then started to resist and beš ·gan pushing officers, at one point reaching for a female officerās gun in her holster, cops said.
The video shows Banāks grabbing the hands of the officer as she places her hand over her weapon.
āThis could have turned out ź¦Ædifferently had she grabbed the weapon,ā a law enforcement source said.
Mitchell, who fled into the nearby Drew Hamilton Houses where he lives with his sister, was later caught and charged wšith assault on a police officer, obstruction of governmental administration and criminal possession of a weapon for having a razor blade in his pocket, cops said.
Banks was also charged with assault on a police officer, obstructionā of governmental administration and resisting arrest.
