Two suspects arrested for attacking a New York City subway lieutenant

On Saturday night, two subway passengers reportedly punched a police officer in the head while on a Bronx subway car. The incident was partially captured on camera, and the attack was a bold and brazen one.

Police and law enforcement sources have reported that 24-year-old suspects Marquise Webb and Brian Innocent were apprehended for allegedly assaulting an NYPD lieutenant. The incident took place at the 238th Street station in the Bronx after 9 p.m., when the officers ordered the duo to exit a subway car.

The Post has obtained footage that captures two men repeatedly punching a uniformed officer in the face and body in the corner of a subway car. Throughout the assault, the lieutenant tried to defend himself against both attackers.
