There has been another arrest in this summer�s spate of caught-on-video water dousing of New York City police officers.
Police say 21-year-old Darnell Hillard was arrested Monday on charges of assault, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, riot, disorderly conduct and harassment. Information on his lawyer wasn�t immediately available.
Police say Hillard was involved in a July 21 incident in which video showed officers getting drenched by buckets of thrown water while making an arrest in Harlem. One officer was hit in the head with a tossed bucket.
Several others have been arrested in the drenching of two police officers by a crowd with buckets of water in the Bronx and the dousing of two police officers in Brooklyn.
