Videos of the incident were circulated widely among critics of the police on social media.
Many of those outraged were angered that the man arrested appeared to be tased because he was yelling at police.
However, according to the New York Daily News, police said that 15 seconds before the video recording, the man had allegedly flung a helmet at an officer.
The Washington Post reported that the incident is under investigation, according to the New York City mayor’s office.
