Video showing officers trying to rip baby from mom's arms called 'troubling'

A disturbing video shows a group of police officers trying to pull a 1-year-old child from the arms of his mother, who is lying on the floor of a social services office in Brooklyn.

The NYPD called the video "troubling" and said the encounter was under review.

"No mother should have to experience the trauma and humiliation we all witnessed in this video,” Public Advocate and Attorney General-elect Letitia James said.

The video shows 23-year-old Jazmine Headley laying on the floor of the Human Resources Administration office on Bergen Street on Friday with a group of police officers surrounding her.

She clutches her year-old son to her chest and shouts, "They're hurting my son! They're hurting my son!"
