The New York Police Department is investigating alleged disorderly conduct after the controversial arrest of a postal worker while he delivered packages on his route, reports CBS News correspondent DeMarco Morgan.
Cellphone video captured the plainclothes NYPD officers approaching 27-year-old Glen Grays. The postal worker was in the middle of his shift on St. Patrick’s Day.
