Two people protesting were arrested after they ignored police commands to leave the area, the NYPD says.

BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A large crowd grew outside Wyckoff Heights Medical Center on Saturday night as ICE agents arrested a man.

Dramatic video shows ICE agents dragging a man outside of the hospital.

An ICE spokesperson said that agents arrested Chidozie Wilson Okeke, a Nigerian man "with previous arrests for assault and criminal drug possession" who they say overstayed his visa.
