Husan Blue, 30, was arrested Thursday, after a number of overly aggressive New York Police Department officers broke up a party in Brooklyn that was being held on private property, Buzzfeed News reports.

Blue attended a gathering of about 30 to 50 people for his father Greg, who turned 57 earlier in the week, in the courtyard of the apartment building that his family has lived in for over 40 years. When dozens of police cars arrived around midnight, Blue said he had a feeling that these officers had one thing in mind.
