A pair of NYPD cops were stripped of their guns and badges Wednesday after repeatedly punching a man they mistook for a drug dealer who refused to be handcuffed inside a Brooklyn liquor store We thought we were getting stuck up. The officers did not say we're NYPD," said witness Abelee Moran. "They didn't say that we're detectives. They didn't tell him you're under arrest, put your hands behind your back. They just started hitting him. The guy, I can hear him say, 'Wait. What's going on?' So as soon as I heard that, I looked and I started recording immediately." The man crashes into a shelf stacked with wine bottles as the officers keep throwing punches, and at one point an officer kicks him. The witness says even after the man was cuffed the officer wearing a hat in the video continued to punch him and press his knee against the man's face with his full weight. The NYPD says the undercover detectives had just witnessed a narcotics purchase, of crack cocaine, and the man in the turquoise hat, white shirt and green shorts fit the description of a suspect, but they had the wrong man. No drugs were found during a police search. He was issued a desk appearance ticket for resisting arrest and obstruction of government administration
