The two NYPD detectives were placed on modified duty, stripped of their guns and badges, and are under internal investigation. The Bronx? No—this incident was in Brooklyn, and the charges against the man were later dropped.

What happened

Police said the detectives were working undercover and mistakenly thought Timothy Brown matched a drug suspect description. Video showed Brown being beaten inside a Brooklyn liquor store before officers realized they had the wrong person.

What happened to the detectives

• They were taken off normal patrol work and put on modified duty.

• Their guns and shields were removed.

• The case is being reviewed internally by the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau.

• The unit involved was also reviewed, and the department said it would assess its narcotics division.

Brown was initially charged with resisting arrest, but the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office said it would not continue prosecuting the case. Brown has also filed a notice of claim and said he intends to sue the city.

In one line

They were not fired in the reports I found; instead, they were sidelined while the NYPD investigates the beating and wrongful arrest.

TL;DR: Two detectives were put on modified duty, stripped of their badges and guns, and are under investigation after they beat the wrong man in Brooklyn.
