Video shows New York City police arresting a migrant in Manhattan Thursday night after he exchanged words with passing officers and appeared to play a recent attack on a pair of police officers on his phone for other men.
The man, wearing an orange puffer jacket and sagging pants, was seen taking a hit from a pipe and stumbling on the sidewalk outside the Roosevelt Hotel after playing the clip. He was eventually patted down and taken away in handcuffs.
An NYPD spokesperson said officers arrested Yoiber Martinez, 19, on charges of disorderly conduct, disrupting traffic and possession of a controlled substance.
The officers suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
The sanctuary city of New York is struggling to deal with an influx of migrants as overwhelming numbers of them pour in across the southern border.
Just last month, Customs and Border Protection reported a record number of migrant encounters at the southern border with more than 302,000.
Fox News’ Michael Dorgan, Sarah Rumpf and Bradford Betz contributed to this report.
