The 19-second video was originally posted last month but was reposted on Saturday and seems to have been shot by two people passing by the scene as it unfolded, according to the New York Daily News.

The video contains graphic content and language, and viewer discretion is advised.

The NYPD has not yet commented on the video, according to the Post, which added that the circumstances surrounding the incident were not yet known.
