New ‘chokehold’ video shows NYPD scuffle with pregnant woman

A seven-months pregnant woman released photos on Monday that she said show an NYPD cop putting her in a chokehold after officers accused her and her family of illegally grilling on the sidewalk.

The images, pulled from a cell phone video of the incident, shows what appears to be an officer with his arm around the throat of Rosan Miller, 27, as he tried to place her under arrest.

Officers showed up at a Bradford Street in East New York home at around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, where they spotted Miller’s husband, Moses, grilling on a public sidewalk before asking him to relocate to the back yard, cops said.

The man refused to hand over his ID and began to walk away before cops tried to grab him and place him under arrest, cops said.

That’s when Rosan and her brother, John Miller, started slapping at police preventing them from making the arrest.

The cellphone video, which was shot by a bystander, shows the soon-to-be mom resisting an officer’s attempt to cuff her and the officer’s left arm around her neck, as her 7-year-old looks on.

Cops are prohibited from using chokeholds on suspects, and police said the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau is reviewing the incident.

“She was grilling in front of her home, not committing any crime,” former city councilman Charles Barron said at a press conference Monday, where he claimed at least one of the cops called Miller’s husband the N-word.

“I don’t care what anyone says, there is a powder keg in this town” the fiery ex-pol said, suggesting those “harassed” by police may begin to react violently. “ Don’t blame me, the social forecaster, when there is an explosion in this town,”

Rosan Miller was not injured, and was given a summons for disorderly conduct.

John Miller was charged with obstruction of justice and harassment, while Moses Miller was charged with resisting arrest.

The NYPD’s use of chokeholds has come under increased scrutiny since the July 17 death of Staten Island man Eric Garner, who police stopped for illegally selling cigarettes.
