NYPD cop slams man head-first into sidewalk outside restaurant

An NYPD officer slammed a man head-first into the sidewalk outside an Upper East Side Mexican restaurant — as onlookers waited in line, flouting social distancing guidelines, a new video shows.

The half-minute clip, which was posted to Twitter, is the latest violent confrontation with cops over lockdown rules and happened Saturday night as quarantine-fatigued New Yorkers flocked to their favorite eateries for sidewalk libations — as seen in Sunday’s Post.

The video shows two officers struggle with a man outside the Second Avenue restaurant, Mexicoma, around 10:15 p.m.

One of the cops grabs the man, who appears to be resisting, lifts him off the ground and slams him headfirst on the sidewalk.

“Oh! Oh my God!” yells one of the masked onlookers, who are huddled closely outside the eatery at East 85th Street.

“This guy’s been asking for it,” another person can be heard saying. “He’s knocked out. He was tossed on his f–king head. He’s knocked out … is he dead?”

A spokeswoman for the department said the man, whose name was not released, was causing a disturbance and refused to hand over his ID.

“Officers attempted to restrain the male and he resisted arrest,” the spokeswoman said.

Cops issued the man a summons for an open container of alcohol.

Less than 12 hours later, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the NYPD would crack down on New Yorkers drinking outside Big Apple restaurants.
