The moment an unhinged man attacked a New York City police officer inside a Brooklyn Target on Tuesday was captured on video.
Video shows a man wrestling the officer on the floor of the retail store as he tries to choke the cop.
The assault occurred around 2 p.m. when the officer noticed the man acting 'disorderly and flipping items on shelves onto the ground' before he 'began menacing the officer with a metal bottle' in the Atlantic Terminal Mall store, the NYPD said.
Henroy Johnson, 44, was later identified as the man who threatened the officer with a metal bottle before wrestling the officer to the ground, according to police.
According to police, he continued to make 'verbal threats and became physically aggressive' with the officer.
The footage begins with Johnson and the officer entangled on the floor of the Target punching each other as a Target employee casually moves a railing out the way while the two roll around.
