NYPD releases bodycam video of police shooting at Brooklyn subway station

The NYPD has released body camera video of a police shooting at a subway station in Brooklyn on Sunday, that left both a suspect and a bystander in critical condition, and injured an officer and one other bystander. Video shows the first interaction two officers have with the 37-year-old suspect, Derrell Mickles, who enters the Sutter Avenue train station in Brownsville without paying. NYPD release police-worn body camera of the confrontation with 37-year-old Derrell Mickles in the subway station shooting in Brooklyn. Surveillance video shows him jump the turnstile just before 3 p. m.

on Sunday, then leaves the station. Just 10 minutes later, he comes back. This time, he walks in through the emergency door, displaying a knife in his hand. Officers see him and eventually follow him up the stairs and onto the platform. During this interaction, Mickles yells at the officers, "don't touch me" and "don't make me kill you.

" Once the train approaches, Mickles goes inside with a knife in his hand. Officers follow him inside, and after telling Mickles to drop the knife, they deploy their tasers. Video appears to show the tasers ineffective in stopping Mickles who continues to move about the train and then onto the platform. Once on the platform, officers once again tell him to drop the knife. Mickles does make a move towards them, and officers open fire.

Police say Officer Edmund Mays and Officer Alex Wong, assigned to transit patrol, fired a total of nine shots. Mickles survived, and on Friday afternoon, he was indicted on eight counts, including attempted aggravated assault on a police officer, attempted assault and assault, menacing a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon and theft of services. Mickles was arraigned from his bed at Kings County Hospital, where he is recovering from his injuries. He pleaded not guilty, and the judge set bail at $250,000, less than the state's request of $750,000. "Obviously he's in very serious condition as far as his physical wellbeing," said Mickles' attorney Jonathan Fink.

"I'm sure he would come back to court if he was released without any bail or if there was some kind of supervision. " His next court appearance is set for November 20. Ahead of the release of the bodycam video, there had been an outcry and growing criticism of the NYPD's handling of the shooting, which left both Mickles and a bystander in critical condition, and injured an officer and one other bystander. The family of the bystander, 49-year-old Gregory Delpeche, who was shot in the head by police gunfire calls the action of cops reckless. "Mr.

Delpeche is fighting for his life because of a reckless shooting, something that has been confirmed now by the video, a video that shows a shooting that did not have to occur," said Delpeche's attorney Keith White. Another attorney for Delpeche, Nick Liakas, says his client was directed by police officers to stand where he was eventually shot. "I'm at a loss for words what was portrayed to us by the NYPD, what that video was purported to show, could not be further from the truth," he said.
