Alvin Bragg scraps charge against YouTuber accused of assaulting NYPD during snow storm

The office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has declined to press assault charges on the YouTuber with a rap sheet who is accused of pelting snow and ice at police officers in New York City. 

Gusmane Coulibaly, 27, was originally arrested on charges of assault on a police officer as well as obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct after an incident earlier this week where a mob pelted NYPD officers with snow and ice, placing a few in the hospital. However, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office declined to go after Coulibaly on the cop assault charge when the suspect was arraigned on Thursday.

The other charges that were filed against Coulibaly were also downgraded to harassment as well as obstruction of governmental administration as a second-degree violation and misdemeanor, according to the New York Post.
