NYC councilwoman who bit cop hits sidewalk to raise money for legal defense
A Brooklyn pol arrested after infamously chomping on a cop’s arm during a homeless shelter protest pulled out the tin cup Saturday and bizarrely raised money on a public sidewalk to help pay off her legal fees.
Reps for City Councilwoman Susan Zhuang, a conservative Democrat, were spotted openly soliciting money and collecting checks for the pol’s “legal defense trust” at the corner of 25th Avenue and 86th Street in Bensonhurst.
Brooklyn Councilwoman Susan Zhuang — who was arrested in July after infamously chomping a cop’s arm during a homeless shelter protest — pulled out the tin cup Saturday and bizarrely had staffers raise money on a public sidewalk in Bensonhurst to help pay for her legal fees. Kevin C Downs forThe New York Post Zhuang has said donations received will be used to cover her legal expenses for the criminal charges she’s facing, including assault and resisting arrest, after allegedly sinking her teeth into an NYPD cop during a July 17 protest over a proposed Bensonshurt homeless shelter.
