The NYPD said officers stopped the woman for not wearing her face mask properly.
, an NYPD spokesperson said the altercation took place at around 11:50 a.m. on Wednesday at the Atlantic Avenue/Barclay Center Subway Station after police officers stopped the mother for not"properly wearing" her face mask.
"She responded to the officers with vulgar language and repeatedly refused requests to properly wear her face covering over her nose and mouth," the spokesperson said."Officers then informed her she would be ejected from the station and began to escort her from the location." "The woman then waved her arms and struck an officer with her hand," the spokesperson said."As a result of these actions, she was taken into custody and placed under arrest."
Social media users have argued that officers' use of force was excessive given the circumstances. Some have also questioned whether this was a case of police violence against a woman of color. Rozier's race and ethnicity are unclear.
