At Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Brooklyn’s Canarsie district, New York, the live stream once more captured the event.

He said the woman attempted to harm his family.
Bishop Lamor Whitehead, who oversees the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Brooklyn’s Canarsie district, is stepping up and clearing the air. Bishop Lamor Whitehead and the unnamed woman appeared to become heated before he was spotted seizing her by the back of her neck and leading her outside. He denied reports that he choked the woman and said that she tried to attack his family on Instagram Live.
Bishop Lamor Whitehead denies the allegations
The Bishop claims the woman was threatening and beginning to charge toward his wife, Asia Whitehead, and their eight-month-old daughter. During the live, he said he had to keep them out of harm’s way and had more video to show the whole story. Following the incident, a video surfaced of officers speaking to Bishop Whitehead, and reports began that he was arrested; however, according to TMZ, that’s not true. Reports state they have yet to book or process him, and it’s unclear if he will be.
However, it looks like something did happen with the NYPD because Bishop Lamor Whitehead called out the authorities on Instagram.
He wrote, “Join Me Live @10pm Tonight! @nypd You Don’t Get To Lock Me Up And Say, oops, We Are Sorry! Stand With Me Tomorrow 9/19/22 Right In Front Of The 69th Police precinct @12Noon 9720 Foster Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11236-2123.”
