According to information obtained by Anadolu Agency reporters, Musa Cetin, who works in pedicabs used to give tours to tourists in New York, became unwell after being detained by the police.

Cetin was taken to Bellevue Hospital, which primarily treats injured detainees. His condition is reported to be serious, and he is unconscious.

Meanwhile, there was public outrage after it was revealed that Cetin’s feet were handcuffed to the hospital bed.

The police removed the handcuffs after friends visiting Cetin in the intensive care unit protested.

Following complaints, New York Mayor Eric Adams’ Senior Advisor for Muslim Community Relations, Muhammad Amin, addressed Cetin’s friends gathered in front of the hospital about the detention process.

During this time, Amin met with New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, stating that the matter is being investigated and that the New York Police Department would provide a statement.
