A police officer captured by a surveillance camera repeatedly striking an Iraq war veteran with his baton while the veteran lay in the lobby of a housing project in Manhattan was acquitted Monday of assault and other charges.

Jurors deliberated in State Supreme Court in Manhattan for about a day before rendering the verdict for the officer, David London.

Officer London, who has been on desk duty since the episode in July 2008, showed no emotion as the forewoman read the words “not guilty” on each of the counts against him: second-degree assault, filing false records, falsifying business records and making a false written statement.

But moments later, Officer London  flanked by his lawyers, Stephen C. Worth and Cary London, who is not related to the officer  bowed in his seat and sobbed, clutching crumpled tissue and a small red Bible in his fist.
