One of the protesters who clashed with the police during a Black Lives Matter protest on Wednesday and allegedly punched the police chief several times has been released from jail without bail.
The Wednesday clash occurred on Brooklyn Bridge in New York where several anti-police protesters got arrested for attacking officers and the NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan.
According to the reports, at least four officers, including the Police Chief, sustained serious injuries after getting beaten by an angry mob of anti-police protesters.
In the footage obtained by DailyMail.com, one of the protesters is seen striking Monahan, who was wearing a white outfit at the time of the incident, in the head several times.
At another moment, one protester was seen knocking a police officer to the ground before hitting him several times.
Following the brawl, the police identified one of the men who allegedly punched Monahan several times as 25-year-old Quran Campbell from The Bronx.
Campbell has been charged with assault for allegedly punching the police chief repeatedly as well as taking a strike at a lieutenant.
Following his arraignment, the 25-year-old was granted a supervised release and walked out of jail without bail.
Slamming Judge Robert Rosenthal’s decision to release the violent protester without bail was Monahan who took to Twitter to share his thoughts.
“Quran Campbell is captured on video for the nation to witness him viciously assault 3 cops in uniform — 1 who lost consciousness. Judge Robert Rosenthal’s reckless decision to release Mr. Campbell WITHOUT BAIL endangers every NYer and the officers who risk it all to protect them,” he wrote.
The police chief also praised the Manhattan DA who reportedly requested $75,000 bail for Campbell due to his vicious assault on police officers.
Describing his injuries, and those of his colleagues, in an interview with Good Day New York, Monahan said:
“I have some bruises on my body, my hands, fingers got jammed up, nothing broken.
“My sergeant who works with me was hit in the head with a cane. He got eight staples put in his head; one of the lieutenants out on the walkway was attacked by an individual — he had the broken orbital bone in his face.”
