(CNN) The activist who New York police attempted to arrest on Friday tells CNN that he is traumatized by the experience and says that police were trying to "terrorize" him. Derrick "Dwreck" Ingram, a Black Lives Matter protester and activist, is accused of assaulting a New York Police officer in June. He says the officer told him he didn't have a warrant but that he had probable cause. The officer told Ingram that he would protect him if he came out of the apartment, according to Ingram, and said he wouldn't let him get hurt. Ingram told CNN that he thinks the NYPD "acted like a terrorist organization," and purposefully handled his attempted arrest that way to "cause harm and intimidate" him.
