A group of NYPD officers were caught on surveillance cameras violently arresting a 19-year-old delivery driver after allegedly wrongfully presuming that he was driving a stolen scooter.

The driver, whose name was given only as Chris by his lawyer, had gone to the grocery store to pick up supplies for the restaurant where he works in Brooklyn in September 2018.

As he shopped inside, a group of plain clothes police officers circled the scooter he was driving and waited for him to come out.

When he did - after being told by one of the grocery store workers that 'someone was messing with his bicycle' - he was taken to the ground by the officers then wrestled into handcuffs and put in the back of their car.

The driver, Chris, is pictured inside the store after parking outside. He had been sent by the restaurant he delivers for to get shrimp, avocado and onions

He was charged with driving without a helmet, reckless driving, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

The Brooklyn District Attorney dropped the charges this week after the man's lawyer shared footage of the incident that was obtained from several cameras both inside and outside the store.

It showed the young man parking his scooter outside then walking into the store to pick up what he had been sent for - shrimp, onions and avocados.

Shortly after he walked into the store, one of the officers followed him inside.

The male officer then returned to where the bike was while his female colleague studied it.

They then stood waiting for the young man to come back out, loitering beside the vehicle.

It was then that a grocery store worker said approached the driver and told him people outside were 'messing' with his bike.

When he walked outside, he was immediately confronted by the officers.

They wrestled him to the ground, tazed him and 'slam his head multiple times into the concrete,' his lawyer Scott Hechinger said on Twitter.

The NYPD did not comment on the footage on Friday.

It is unclear if the officers faced any form of disciplinary action.
