Mayor Eric Adams and some other city elected officials are not rushing to condemn City Council Member Susan Zhuang (D-Brooklyn) following her Wednesday arrest for allegedly biting a high-ranking NYPD officer.
Zhuang — an avowed supporter of the NYPD — was charged on July 17 with second- and third-degree assault, as well as resisting arrest and obstructing government administration, according to police. She was arrested during an impromptu Wednesday morning protest of a homeless shelter planned for the Gravesend section of Brooklyn, which has drawn immense pushback from the majority Asian-American community.
