NYPD Cops 'brutally punch and pistol-whip' unarmed teen as he surrenders with his hands up
Kahreem Tribble, 16, was running away from officers in Brooklyn when they caught up to him, punching and shattering his front teeth

Two New York City cops are facing criminal charges after they were caught in disturbing footage punching and pistol-whipping a teenage suspect who had already raised his hands to surrender.

In the video obtained by DNAinfo New York, 16-year-old Kahreem Tribble is seen running away from the officers in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant about 2am on Aug. 29.

After a brief chase, Tribble stops running and tus around to face the NYPD cops in apparent surrender.

That's when one of the officers, later identified as Tyrane Isaac, approaches the teen and punches him in the head, according to DNAinfo New York.

A few seconds later, Officer David Afanador catches up to Tribble — as he raises his hands — and whacks him in the teeth with the pistol, breaking a front tooth and chipping another, according to the news site.

Officer Isaac then later punches the teen again, the website reported.

Afanador, who leaves momentarily to find the black bag that Tribble allegedly threw out when he saw the cops, comes back a few minutes later. He waves the bag in the teen's face and smacks him with it.
