After which, the couple surrounded him and pushed towards the emergency exit before the gaze of all the passers-by.

Regarding the incident, the city police commissioner, Dermont Shea, described the behavior of his subordinates as “absolutely inexcusable” and assured that none will be fired or suspended.
