Man Taken into Custody on Lydig Avenue - Tries to Escape From Police Car

This afternoon there was a unidentified man placed into a police car after an altercation. That man then tried to get out of the police car by going through the open driver side window. Below is a photo account of what happened.

Below - I was told to see the sergeant in charge for any comments, but even though I had my NYPD Press ID on he refused to comment. 

As the photos were being taken I was told by the driver of a car that the incident began when the unidentified man kicked the side of his car. Police officers upon arriving placed the unidentified man in the police car, and it is not known if he was in handcuffs or not at the time he went through the driver side window of the police car. The area is covered by the 49th police precinct.
