The NYPD is under fire after an 84-year-old man was injured while being arrested by officers after being stopped for jaywalking.

Kang Wong, a Chinese immigrant who speaks little English, was walking in the Upper West Side Sunday when he was approached by a cop attempting to write him a ticket for a jaywalking citation.

“[The officer] stood him up against the wall and was trying to write him a ticket," witness Ian King told The New York Post. "The man didn’t seem to understand, and he started walking away. The cop tried to pull him back, and that’s when he began to struggle with the cop. As soon as he pushed the cop, it was like cops started running in from everywhere.”

After the altercation, Wong was taken to St. Luke's Hospital where he received four staples in the head. He has reportedly been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
