Three arrests have been made in connection to the water dousing incident which caught so much attention in the media last week.

Chief Terence Monohan tweeted out:

Multiple arrests have already been made regarding the incidents of water being thrown on officers. The NYPD will NEVER tolerate illegal behavior like this. Our cops will arrest you.

NBC New York reports,

Three people face charges after videos went viral on social media showing police officers getting doused with buckets of water — and at least one instance, having a bucket thrown at their heads, while making an arrest in Manhattan.

NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan tweeted Wednesday morning that a 28-year-old “known gang member” had been cuffed in the case. “Actions like we’ve seen in videos recently will NEVER be tolerated in this city,” he added. 

The second and third arrests followed shortly thereafter. Those charged include Courtney Thompson, Isiah Scott and Chad Bowden, all 28. They face varying charges including disorderly conduct, harassment, criminal mischief and obstructing government administration, among other offenses. It wasn’t immediately clear if any of the three had retained attorneys.

Cops on Saturday released photos of 10 new suspects, including one woman, taken from video of the dousing.

The department is still asking for anyone who recognizes the men to contact the Crime Stoppers at 800-577-8477, or www.nypdcrimestoppers.com, or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

New York Daily News reported the incident last week and video of the disgrace went viral.

The viral clips, which appear to have been shot during the city’s recent heat wave, enraged NYPD cops and had the city’s top police unions blaming New York politicians and their “anti-police rhetoric” for the officers’ lack of response.

“Our anti-cop lawmakers have gotten their wish: the NYPD is now frozen,” Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch fumed. “It’s not the fault of these police officers. It’s the end result of the torrent of bad policies and anti-police rhetoric that has been streaming out of City Hall and Albany for years now.

“We are approaching the point of no return,” Lynch said. “Disorder controls the streets, and our elected leaders refuse to allow us to take them back. As police officers, we need to draw a line.”

Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, called the videos “horrific and dangerous” and blamed Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner James O’Neill for the displays of “lawless behavior and utter disregard for law enforcement.”

He also called for O’Neill to resign.

“The liquids in the buckets could just as easily have been bleach, gasoline, or some other toxic substance,” Mullins said in a statement.
