Comedian Adam Newman was in the middle of a set the other night, when members of the NYPD enter the venue, flashlights in hand...and arrest a member of the audience. No, this wasn't part of the act. According to reports, the man arrested was accused of robbing someone (though, upon arrest, the man claims the person accusing him was the actual robber). When the comedian stops to ask the police what was going on, and why they couldn't wait to make the arrest till after his set, he was told by one of them to "Shut the **** up". Not something you see everyday. Guess the rest of the audience at least got their money's worth.

Newman writes on Tumblr 

It’s been two years since I posted a video of myself pulling cocaine out of a heckler’s coat, and I SWEAR I don’t want to be the comedian who only posts heckler videos. But sometimes the NYPD busts in while you’re on stage trying to make a late night submission video, arrests an audience member, then yells at you to, “Shut the fuck up!” And what are you supposed to do, not post it?
