(Fox) The New York City Police Department defended the actions of its officers by releasing bodycam video that showed an officer gently helping a woman with her hijab after the radical anti-Israel activist claimed she was “brutalized” and her hijab was ripped off by police.
“We are aware of social media posts regarding an individual detained by our police officers yesterday, and accusations that our officers ripped off a subject’s hijab. This is wholly untrue,” [NYPD] Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtery wrote in a post on X.
The subject in the video, identified as Nerdeen Kiswani, a vocal anti-Israel activist with a history of run-ins with police, took to X to accuse the NYPD of violence against her.
