NYPD cop caught on camera purposely coughing on Bronx man

A plainclothes NYPD cop purposely coughed on a man in The Bronx amid the coronavirus pandemic, a shocking new video shows.

The short clip, posted to Instagram Thursday night, starts as two officers are starting to walk away from the group of men, saying, “We videotaped the whole thing, all right?”

“It’s all right,” the man filming can be heard responding.

A third cop then leans in, his face only a few feet from the group, and loudly coughs twice without covering his mouth, the video shows.

“Oh my God, you on camera,” a man yells. “We caught that!

“Yo, what’s your name, what’s your badge numbers?” the man and others can be heard asking as the man laughs.

“You can get fired for that,” another man yells out.

The coughing cop responds at one point, but what he says can’t be made out.

The three plainclothes cops, none of whom was wearing a mask, then get back in their unmarked car and the video ends.

While it was unclear where exactly the incident happened Wednesday night, the man filming said it occurred in the 44th Precinct.

The cops approached the group after spotting them drinking and smoking on the sidewalk and the situation escalated when the men starting cursing, police sources said.

A second video taken from across the street shows about eight men congregating in front of a car. Only one appears to be wearing a mask.

“We are aware of the video and the incident is under internal review,” a spokeswoman for the NYPD said.

Coughing is one of the primary ways doctors have said the pandemic coronavirus is spreading throughout the world.
