Brooklyn rapper, Moise Morancy has not only become an viral sensation but has won over the members of the NYPD.

On Saturday, Morancy was honored with the “Good Samaritan” award by 112th Precinct for defending a teenage woman from an alleged sexual assault on a Queen’s bus back in October. In video that went viral, Morancy is seen restraining the man who allegedly forcibly touched a 15-year-old girl.


“They contacted me a little bit after and said they wanted to honor me, and I was like whoa, that’s amazing,” Morancy told the Daily News.




Morancy, who’s gone viral previously for he stance on police violence, spoke to the Daily News on previously being racially profiled and his first interaction with the police when he was 12-years-old.

“It got real physical for no reason,” he said. “I was walking on the street and they roughed me up, and I didn’t know why…I had a lot of negative interactions with police.”

Morancy, who was initially arrested with the alleged sexual assailant was ordered to be released by Sergeant Johnny J. Hines III who called him a hero.

“If he never existed, or never joined the force, my perception of police probably wouldn’t have changed until much later in life,” Morancy told the news.

Congrats Morancy, Brooklyn needs more men like you!
