NYPD body cam footage shows moments before Washington Heights baton clobbering
New video has surfaced of the wild clash between police and two men in Washington Heights that ended with a brutal beatdown - and an NYPD investigation into excessive force.
The footage acquired by the Daily News - believed to be recorded by a police officer's body camera - appears to show one of the cops lunging at Aaron Grissom after the two curse at each other at the entrance to the W. 169th St. and Broadway subway stop on Tuesday.
Grissom, 36, and Sidney Williams, 37, are recorded flat-out refusing Police Officers Jeffrey Mota and Bramlin Rosa's orders to move 100-feet away from the foot of the subway station stairs.
While Williams appears to be accommodating, Grissom won't budge.
