Th incident occurred yesterday in the Bronx, as the officer and his partner were arresting a man suspected of committing a robbery.

A passerby, who watched the two men struggle with the robbery suspect got annoyed by the officer’s treatment of the helpless suspect,  27-year-old Yoemdy Castro, so he sprang into action – and punched the cop in the face multiple times.

The police officer was attacked by Nelson Jimenez, 31, who started pummeling the officer in front of a crowd of bystanders who had gathered on a sidewalk near 183rd Street and Davidson Avenue in University Heights to watch the arrest. 

Nelson tried to run away after punching the cop – but he clearly is not fleet of foot.

And to make things worse, the 31 year old vigilante had his pants sagging, so he struggled to walk.

Officers later caught and arrested Jimenez in a nearby bodega, law enforcement sources said. Charges against him are pending.
