NEW YORK — A captain who took control of a wild melee on Rikers Island caught on tape is leveling bombshell allegations against the Department of Correction.
“It’s been bothering me every day since the incident that it’s not being properly addressed,” he said.
He’s a veteran officer taking a huge professional risk by speaking out about the incident and the video that aired exclusively on Eyewitness News. The whistle-blowing Captain claims the Department never reached out to him about that out of control brawl until that video was shown on TV 3 weeks after the incident.
