The City Council on Tuesday opened an ethics investigation into Brooklyn Council Member Susan Zhuang, who made headlines earlier this summer over her arrest for allegedly biting a cop during a protest against a new homeless shelter in her district.
City Council spokesperson Shirley Limongi confirmed the body’s Committee on Standards and Ethics launched the inquiry, first reported by the news site Gothamist, on Sept. 17. Limongi noted, however, that the matter is being “held in suspension” while Zhuang’s multiple charges from the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office play out in court.
