Adams raps cops after he calls 911 over brawl & officers fail to probe it ‘properly’

The police officers responding to Mayor Adams’ 911 call reporting three men brawling in Brooklyn showed up to find just one of the combatants — who denied any fight ever took place, a high-ranking cop source said Monday.

Adams called 911 on Saturday, his first day on the job, after he and a gaggle of reporters spotted three men fighting on the street below the elevated J train station on Kosciuszko St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

In an interview with PIX11 the next day, Adams said the officers should have done more after responding to the scene.

“The officers, I believe, should have stopped, carried out a more thorough investigation, interviewed the people at the scene. I don’t believe they did that properly,” he said. “I’m going to take a look at that and make sure we instruct our officers on what my expectations are.”

According to a high-ranking police source, Adams called in the 8 a.m. brawl as an assault in progress, and the dispatcher logged it in as a fight.

When police arrived, only one of the men remained. Officers asked the man through the window of their NYPD vehicle what happened, and he told them nothing, that there was no fight and that someone had just fallen down, the source said.

The officers left, marking the job as unfounded. But before that happened, the dispatcher called Adams back for more info, multiple police sources said. He didn’t answer, the sources said, though he may have been traveling on the subway at the time. It’s unclear if either the dispatcher or the mayor followed up on the missed call.

Even if the officers got out of their car and more actively questioned the man, the result would have been the same, since no one else was around to report they were a victim of an assault, the high-ranking source said.

The NYPD did not formally comment on the mayor’s remarks, and Adams spokesman Jonah Allon could not confirm if the mayor received a return call from the 911 dispatcher.
