Patrolling a Manhattan subway station turned into a battle royale for a lone NYPD cop who was forced to fight off a group of hostile vagrants — one of whom tumbled to the tracks, according to a disturbing new video.
A 47-second clip of the encounter shows the uniformed officer holding a collapsible baton at the ready and repeatedly ordering the men to “stand back” as he backs up along a staircase.
The video — which was shot from behind the cop and posted online — then shows a man in a baseball hat step over another man sprawled on the platform and approach the cop, who kicks him in the leg and knocks him to the floor.
“Stand back! I don’t want to hurt you!” the cop says as two other men approach.
The cop kicks one of those men to the floor, but he immediately pops up and starts throwing punches, which the cop counters with smacks from his baton.
Two other men in tan jackets intervene to stop the violence — with one spreading his arms to hold the assailants back — but a man with shaggy hair ducks under and staggers toward the cop, then stumbles off the platform and lands on the tracks with a thud.
The NYPD said that other cops responded to aid their colleague, who was assigned to a solo post inside the East Broadway station on the Lower East Side.

Post-apocalyptic
Cop fights off feral beings released by Democrats so they could enjoy their freedom.
I presume the cop is equipped with a firearm.
This is an appropriate occasion to deploy it.
Jankees? Just a guess.
Feral bums.
I wonder who the people in tan jackets were. One appeared to be a white woman and the “vagrants” did step back, except for the one who ran out and attacked the cop. Those cozzes are very heavy and effective weapons, and I’m surprised that the cop didn’t try to fight back.
In NYC, a cop who fires his gun is practically on his way to jail from that moment, so don’t even think of that.
And people ask me why I don’t want to go visit NYC.
Those men were released following treatment, but cops busted four men caught sleeping on the platform Monday morning on suspicion they were involved in the attack, the NYPD said.
Several intoxicated, emotionally disturbed men were taken to local hospitals following the incident around 10:30 p.m. Sunday, the NYPD said.
Sounds like drunks were caught sleeping on the platform by the cop and they didn't like it. Drunk and Stupid go together.
Dahell is a ‘cozzes’?
In DeBlasios city? That would promote gun violence!
I think it’s in some Brooklyn dialect....
Like “States roits wuz one ov da cozzes of da Civil War”
I believe it’s a variation of cosh, a heavy blunt object like a blackjack, used to deliver a noggin floggin’.
It’s what Cossacks wear.

Comment from the guy who shot and posted the video...
“Yeo they buggin mans fell in the train tracks”
Cop should have just shot ‘em
[This is an appropriate occasion to deploy it.]
If it was 1952. Those days are over.
My grandfather was NYPD in the 30’s. They would have all been shoveled into garbage cans by the time he got through with them. LOL
Hazing, or a cop that needed to be taught a lesson?
