BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, N.Y. (WABC) -- The Rev. Al Sharpton, the family of Eric Garner, and a man who says he was the victim of brutal police arrest will attend a rally Saturday morning at the National Action Network.

A new video shows a man who community advocates identified as Jamil El-Cuffee being arrested in Brooklyn. Eyewitness Gary Dormer recorded the video as two officers try to arrest El-Cuffee, who police said had been smoking pot.

For 55 seconds, the video shows two partners struggling on their own to control El-Cuffee, as a crowd grows angrier and a woman approaches to help him. Then, the officer briefly pulls out his gun.

Help arrives, and the officer in question picks up a piece of evidence and walks down the block, returning to find the suspect on the ground but still not cuffed and still struggling. Then he appears to step on the man's head.
