'Because all good cops know that officer just made their jobs a little bit harder , ' Bratton added . 'In that kind of encounter , anger like that is unacceptable . In any encounter , discourtesy and obscene language like that is unacceptable . ' The New York Police Department 's Internal Affairs Bureau launched an investigation into the incident , which occurred in the West Village , after footage captured by a passenger was posted online . The officer was named by the New York Daily News as Detective Patrick Cherry of the NYPD 's Joint Terrorism Task Force .

' 'That 's not the way it works , ' he continued . 'How long have you been in this country ? ' The two passengers in the backseat of the car can be heard assuring the driver that he has done nothing wrong , with one of them saying ; 'It 's not your fault ; this guy 's just a d*** . ' Moments later the cop returns with a ticket , this after he has pounded on the car and , according to one of the passengers , thrown things in the vehicle . As the driver agrees with everything the cop says , he manages to cut off the man , which sends him into another tirade as he screams ; ' I do n't know what f****** planet you 're on right now ! ' The officer also mocks the driver 's accent throughout and his pronunciation of certain words . Passengers in the cab claimed that Detective Cherry failed to indicate before attempting to park his Hyundai . 'Our Uber driver , Humayun , was abused by a police officer today in New York , ' Sanjay Seth , who took the video , wrote on his Facebook page on Monday . 'The unending rage , door slamming , throwing items into the car , threatening arrest without cause was bad enough - but the officer 's remarks at the end really took it to another level . ' 'The behavior in the video is wrong and unacceptable and we appreciate the NYPD investigating the incident , ' Uber said in a statement . 'We are in touch with our driver-partner who was subjected to this terrible experience and will continue to provide any support he needs . '
