Video shows black NYC partiers scatter for cover as white neighbor douses them with garden hose

“That is crazy! He’s trying to fight!”

New video footage shows the moment a white neighbor unleashes his garden hose on guests at a Queens dinner party as the mostly black revelers scatter for cover in what they claim was a deliberate attempt to make them feel like “less than” animals.
The footage — released Wednesday night by attorneys for the partygoers — opens with surprised attendees wiping their faces from the initial spray of water and laughing while enjoying a surprise party for Rosevony Duroseau at her Forest Hills home on Sept. 17, 2022.
Neighbor Marcus Rosebrock allegedly began his aquatic attack by lightly spritzing the group with his garden hose after complaining about noise emitting from their backyard fete.
“That is crazy! He’s trying to fight,” one guest can be heard saying while another points at the Rosebrock’s yard and says: “He’s the one I was expecting problems with you.”
That’s when a strong stream of water surged over the property line and made repeated, aggressive sweeps from one end of Duroseau’s yard to the other.
The guests — who were almost entirely black and Latino — started screaming and running, with several rushing toward the house.
“I’m videotaping the neighbors throwing water on everyone at Rose’s party. I am videotaping the neighbor throwing water at us,” the camerawoman can be heard yelling.

The partygoers shouted and ran for cover as a stream of water sprayed over the property line.
The group appeared to be enjoying the reggae classic “No, No, No” by Dawn Penn at a moderate volume. The spray stopped the moment the music was cut off.
Several partygoers — including one standing in a backyard playhouse — tried to communicate with the neighbor over the property line, which was lined with a fence and bushes — but instead met another, less strong dousing.
“We’re calling the cops,” the camerawoman said before the clip ended.
The 19 revelers filed a lawsuit against Rosebrock this month alleging that he used the water as a calculated tool “reminiscent” of 1960s Birmingham, Ala. when white cops would use fire hoses to break up black civil rights activists, the court papers claim.

“We experienced a very specific, very heinous type of attack that harkens back to a dark period of this country’s history,” plaintiff Katya Dossous said Tuesday, calling the incident “racist harassment.”
“An attack I believe was premeditated, deliberate and thought out with the intent to make us feel ‘less than,’ like animals.”
Photos obtained by The Post show a shocked Dossous, of Brooklyn, with soaked clothes moments after the alleged incident.
The group claims Rosebrock’s attack came shortly after an unidentified white woman and her German Shepherd came over to the Duroseau home demanding that they turn the music down at 9:50 p.m.

The swanky festivities were attended by prominent music executive Rigo Morales, former Fordham Law classmates of Duroseau’s and the evening’s nine-course meal was catered by Vanessa Cantave — the winner of season 11 of Bravo show “Rocco’s Dinner Party.”
Rosebrock’s lawyer, Brandon Gillard, reiterated Wednesday his earlier statements refuting “any characterization that [Rosebrock] is racist or that his actions were racially motivated.”
The Forest Hills man denied, through Gillard, all the allegations, adding that the Duroseau attendees were allegedly “aggressive and violent.”

White neighbor accused of hosing down black partygoers in NYC says he’s gotten death threats, fears he will lose home​

A white man accused of hosing down a prominent black doctor and his partygoers in what has been described as “a scene reminiscent of 1960s Birmingham, Alabama” claims he has been receiving death threats since the viral incident — and fears he may lose his Queens home.
Marcus Rosebrock, 48, described how his life has been “destroyed” since he was sued by his Forest Hills neighbor, Dr. Yves Duroseau — who heads emergency medicine at Manhattan’s Lenox Hill Hospital — and 19 of his guests for pulling out a garden hose and spraying them as they celebrated Duoseau’s sister’s birthday on Sept.17, 2022.
“I’m getting death threats over the phone,” he told the Daily Mail, adding that his children “are already scared.
“We had to let them know what was going on because there are a lot of black families in the area — but it is not like that,” he claimed.
“We had to inform the school too. I’m a class parent and I volunteer at the school,” the stay-at-home dad said. “But we had to tell them, because rumors spread.

“This has already destroyed us,” Rosebrock continued. “They are trying to take away everything I own. My kids could end up on the street, I could end up losing this house.
“They believe we are loaded, but we are not. I have not worked for the last 10 years — I have been at home taking care of the kids,” he said.
Rosebrock also claimed, “There is still much more to be discovered about what happened, but I can’t say anymore because my attorney told me not to.”
He is accused in a lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court of “water hosing” Duroseau’s guests with a high-pressure hose that “was extremely powerful and stinging in nature.”
Yves Duroseau and a few others then climbed a treehouse to see Rosebrock from over the fence and ask him to stop, the suit claims.

“Instead of stopping the water hosing of the Duroseaus and their guests, Defendant Rosebrock doubled down and continued water hosing,” the court documents claim.
The neighbor also pointed the powerful water stream directly at the men in the perch making them “afraid that they would be knocked to the ground from out of the tree house,” the suit claims.
One person tried to “calmly” reason with Rosebrock, who simply doused her “from head to toe,” the filing says.
All the attendees “were completely drenched” and “humiliated,” according to the suit, which also brings claims against an unidentified white woman that let herself into the Duroseaus’ home accompanied by a German shepherd, demanding that the music get turned down.
Speaking about the incident to the Daily Mail, Rosebrock said the party was “way too loud” starting at around 4 p.m. and lasting past 10 p.m. “getting progressively louder.”
He said other neighbors also complained about the noise levels, claiming there were five calls to 311 and two calls to 911 over the incident.
The Post has reached out to the New York Police Department to verify that claim.

But Duroseau has claimed Rosebrock didn’t even ask him to turn the music down before opening fire with his garden hose on the 19 revelers — all black and Latino, except for one white guest.
“If someone asked me to turn the music down [because] their kids cannot sleep, that would automatically happen,” he said at a news conference Thursday. “There were absolutely no words prior to him hosing us.
“We had to make a quick calculation of our safety, what to do with our anger,” he explained. “We had the sense to videotape this.”
Another party-goer, Katya Dossous, recounted trying to reason with Rosebrock who she made eye contact with.
“I know he saw me,” Dossous said Thursday. “We made eye contact. And I tried to speak to him. Every time I tried to speak, he sprayed me harder and harder.”

Claude, Yves wife, said that she remembers her guests “scrambl[ing] around trying to get away” and how the incident left everyone “scarred.”
“Even though a full year has passed since this incident, I feel no less traumatized, humiliated, violated and ashamed,” she said.
Plaintiff lawyer Derek Sells claimed that Rosebrock “dehumanized” his clients who are now seeking to hold him accountable for his actions.
“He sprayed them as if they were farm animals,” Sells said. “And it harkens back to images that have been burned into our minds of the situations that took place in our country during the Civil Rights era.”

But Rosebrock’s lawyer Brandon Gillard has denied that his client’s actions were racially motivated and called the neighbors “aggressive and violent.”
“That 1:12 video is a snapshot of events that happened over an hour,” he told The Post, saying that the footage released was “not fully representative” of the encounter.
