The officers' onslaught forced the attacker to the ground, at one point removing his pants and underwear to expose his buttocks. Officers eventually handcuffed Delmas and took him into custody. He now faces charges of assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental government, police told The Post.

While on probation, Delmas assaulted a 57-year-old woman in New York City in 2022, according to the New York Post, the paper also reported. (Related article: Someone keeps punching young women in the face in New York, and the city's Democratic Party leadership is doing nothing about it.)

According to the media report, Delmas has a criminal history with multiple arrests for assault and theft.

Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Hendry condemned the assault as the result of poor criminal policy, according to the Post.

“This is exactly what happens when our justice system is more focused on coddling criminals than supporting officers on the street,” Hendry said.
