The New York Police Department is conducting an internal review of a shocking arrest involving nearly a dozen officers and one unarmed black man on Wednesday night outside of a Brooklyn park.

‘Look in my eyes, I am talking to you,’ Carter can be heard telling the officer who continues holding him against a wall.

Carter asserts: ‘He was just following me and said “Come over here right quick.” and I am like “What, who are you?” What crime did I commit?’ 

At this point, the officer screams at Carter to stop moving prompting the man to ask the cop if he plans on shooting him.
