On Friday afternoon, Bushwick Daily’s attention was directed to an upsetting piece of documentation by a tipster who had been passing through the Myrtle-Broadway JMZ station shortly before 9pm on Thursday night whereupon they encountered the aftermath of a violent arrest, which witnesses informed them had escalated quickly and ended with responding NYPD officers dealing a nightstick blow to the head of a civilian. Myrtle-Broadway is far from desolate at 9pm on a Thursday, so many noted the incident, although the exact nature of what had happened was unclear to some.
