\u201cI have a concussion as a result of the NYPD shoving me to the pavement, but I believe I will be ok,\u201d Oss\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n

Oss\u00e9, who represents Brooklyn\u2019s 36th District, was arrested near 200 Jefferson Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where community members say they were\u00a0rallying to prevent the eviction<\/a>\u00a0of Carmella Charrington.<\/p>\n

Video of the arrest shows Oss\u00e9 being thrown to the ground as onlookers yell. He was charged with obstruction of government administration and disorderly conduct, the NYPD told PIX11 News. Oss\u00e9 was one of four people arrested at the protest, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n

The council member said the resident of the home, Charrington, is a victim of deed theft. Her family says Charrington holds the power of attorney for her father\u2019s estate and that he granted her the property.<\/p>\n

Brownstone developer 227 Group LLC denied the deed theft accusation. The New York Attorney General\u2019s Office told PIX11 News it deemed Charrington\u2019s situation is not deed theft, but rather a property dispute between heirs and relatives of the property\u2019s original co-owners. On Thursday, Oss\u00e9 explained his position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legal specifics of her case are for the courts, and she deserves her due process,\u201d Oss\u00e9 said. \u201cSometimes, the perpetrators [of deed theft] use illegal methods. Sometimes, their methods are technically legal. \u2026 Everything that is legal, isn\u2019t right or just.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oss\u00e9 argued for a broader definition of deed theft that catches more cases that push Black homeowners out of their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy position yesterday wasn\u2019t to adjudicate. Rather, it was to make sure the people in the middle of this have a voice, and that the system moves toward protecting them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
