SCHENECTADY — City police have launched a probe into an incident that resulted in an officer kneeling on a man’s neck while being taken into custody on Monday morning.

Yugeshwar Gaindarpersaud said he was confronted by city police investigating a report that his neighbor’s tires had been slashed.

Gaindarpersaud, 31, said he told the officer to provide evidence, turned around and walked away.

That’s when he said the unidentified officer allegedly threw him to the ground before kneeling on his neck.

“His whole body weight was smashing my head into the concrete,” Gaindarpersaud said. “I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t move.”

After being placed into the patrol car, Gaindarpersaud said he blacked out.

“When I woke up, I was in Ellis Hospital,” said Gaindarpersaud, who displayed abrasions on his face, leg and arm to The Daily Gazette ahead of a protest held outside of police headquarters on Monday.

SCHENECTADY — A crowd chanting, "Who do you protect, who do you serve?' and "Whose streets? Our Streets," held a peaceful rally outside police headquarters Monday night after a video emerged earlier in the day showing a city police officer kneeling on a man's neck.

The altercation took place Monday morning on North Brandywine Avenue outside the home of Yugeshwar Gaindarpersaud, 31, who was taken into custody after the incident.


Gaindarpersaud, who said he was charged with resisting arrest, joined dozens of protesters and recounted how the officer allegedly made him lose consciousness before he was put in a police car.
In the 22-second video, Jaindra Gaindarpersaud, the father of the man, can be heard telling the officer, "You got the foot on his head. You've got the foot on his head."
As the increasingly concerned father points at his son, the officers tells him "go back inside now."
The incident took place weeks after protesters marched across the country to protest the May 25 killing of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
At least two protests followed in Schenectady, with Police Chief Eric Clifford kneeling down during one protest in solidarity with protesters calling for an end to police brutality. Clifford later marched with demonstrators.

Late Monday afternoon, Schenectady police put on a statement about the circumstances of the altercation.
The department said its Office of Professional Standards is investigating, but did not specifically comment on what was seen in the video.
Police said they were called to North Brandywine Avenue between Becker and Bradley streets at 9:38 a.m. Monday after a complainant said tires were slashed, and that it was part of an ongoing neighbor dispute.
An officer made contact with what the department described as a male suspect. As the officer went to detain the man, police said he fled on foot. The department described what happened next as a brief chase, followed by a struggle between the officer and suspect, in which the officer lost his radio and had to ask witnesses to call for back-up.
"The Department has been made aware of a video circulating on social media partially depicting the incident. The incident in its entirety is currently being reviewed by the Schenectady Police Department’s Office of Professional Standards. We ask that anyone who witnessed the incident or has video footage to contact the Office of Professional Standards," the department said in a statement.

"The Schenectady Police Department is committed to fair, impartial, and transparent investigations. As soon as the investigation has concluded or more information can be released in regards to the incident, it will be made available."
Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy said Monday morning he was unaware of the incident.
A Times Union reporter texted the mayor a still shot of the officer with his knee on Gaindarpersaud's neck.
Shortly before the rally, McCarthy said he ordered the internal probe in a bid to determine if the officer acted appropriately.
Police Chief Eric Clifford did not return calls Monday seeking comment.
He, did, however, speak with Odo Butler, president of the Schenectady branch of the NAACP.

Butler, who attended the rally, said Clifford told him Monday afternoon that Gaindarpersaud was drunk and not complying with the officer's commands during the incident.
He said the civil rights group wants the Schenectady Civilian Police Review Board to look into the confrontation.
Gaindarpersaud and his father, Jaindra, addressed the crowd in front of the police station Monday night.
He told them that he was in his driveway when the officer accused of him of slashing tires and the officer alleged he had video to prove it.
