BLM Greater NY founder Hawk Newsome arrested while attending NYPD cop’s manslaughter hearing

New York Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome has been arrested after shocking video showed him towering over an NYPD cop while threatening to “beat the sh-t” out of him.

An enraged Newsome was cuffed on Tuesday after he showed up to Bronx Criminal Court for the hearing of an NYPD sergeant accused of throwing a cooler and killing a man last summer, CBS reported.

“You think I’m scared of you? I’ll beat the sh-t out of you. You must be out of your f–king mind,” Newsome was filmed screaming as he unleashed a torrent of vile abuse at the cop.

“You see how I’m all up on you? You’re a vagina… F–king vagina.”

It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the caught-on-camera ordeal.

A number of cops could be seen trying to de-escalate the situation, a clip posted on social media shows.

At one point, Newsome was filmed grabbing a female cop’s hand and batting it away after the officer apparently tried to move on a woman who was with Newsome.

Newsome was slapped with three summons for disorderly conduct in the wake of the caught-on-camera saga.

The dramatic ordeal unfolded after a hearing for NYPD Sgt. Erik Duran, who was charged with second-degree manslaughter in the August 2023 death of scooter-riding drug suspect, Eric Duprey.

The cop, who has pleaded not guilty, was indicted after tossing the cooler at Duprey as he fled a drug bust in The Bronx — striking him in the head and causing him to crash.
