Protesters jumped the subway turnstiles in Union Square to bring attention to what they say was a reckless reaction by the NYPD for shooting a man over doing the same thing.

Police officials shared more details about the Brownsville, Brooklyn subway station shooting during a Wednesday evening news conference. They said the violence, captured on body-worn cameras and 15 surveillance cameras at the station and on the trains, began when a man accused of fare evasion later charged at police with a knife.
