Charges Dropped Against Woman Whose Baby Was Ripped From Her By NYPD Officers
Jazmine Headley was arrested at a Brooklyn benefits office after she refused to stand up from the floor
Prosecutors have dropped charges against a woman whose baby was wrenched from her arms while she was arrested by New York police officers after video footage of the incident went viral.
Jazmine Headley, 23, was arrested on Friday at a Brooklyn benefits office, in a chaotic scene where officers wrestled her one-year-old son away from her, and has been locked up ever since. On Tuesday, the Brooklyn district attorney, Eric Gonzalez, said he was dropping charges against her.
“Like everyone who watched the arrest of Jazmine Headley, I was horrified by the violence depicted in the video and immediately opened an investigation into this case. It is clear to me that this incident should have been handled differently,” he said.
