\n The NYPD cop accused of putting a man in an illegal chokehold in a now-viral weekend encounter was arrested, police said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Officer David Afanador, 39, was charged with attempted strangulation and strangulation over the Sunday encounter in Queens that was captured on cellphone camera, according to police.<\/p>\n

Afanador was one of four cops who were arresting 35-year-old Ricky Bellevue on the Rockaway Boardwalk.<\/p>\n

As the three other officers cuff Bellevue, Afanador appears to have his arm around the man\u2019s neck as he goes limp, video shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cYo, stop choking him, bro!\u201d someone off-screen yells during the 29-second video.<\/p>\n

The cop only let go as one of the other cops taps him on his back.<\/p>\n

The encounter came just three days after the City Council passed legislation making it a criminal offense for cops to use chokeholds.<\/p>\n

Afanador was suspended without pay following the incident and the NYPD quickly released bodycam footage as sources revealed his arrest was imminent.<\/p>\n

Police previously told The Post the cops were flagged down around 8:45 a.m. by people saying a man had been throwing objects at them.<\/p>\n

When cops approach Bellevue, he threatens to throw a garbage can at them, body camera footage shows.<\/p>\n

Afanador tells a bystander in the body-camera footage that Bellevue was known to have a mental illness and he and the two others with him were \u201cobviously intoxicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were all talking all types of crazy stuff to us. We did nothing. I don\u2019t care. Anybody can say whatever they want to us,\u201d Afanador told the woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat changed everything is when he grabbed something and squared off, and was gonna hit my officer who\u2019s standing over there,\u201d Afanador said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when everything changed,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe minute I saw him flex on him, that\u2019s when he goes down, \u2019cause we don\u2019t get hurt and we\u2019re not gonna leave somebody violent out here who might do that to one of you or another innocent person.\u201d<\/p>\n
