A former NYPD officer accused of killing a Brooklyn jogger was seen handcuffed outside the 62nd Precinct police station on Saturday.
Sayed Mohassib was charged with second-degree murder in the Oct. 30 stabbing death of Katie Suarez on the Shore Parkway.
He is also charged with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon.
Mohassib, who wore a red Van Dutch jacket, black top and jeans, showed little emotion as he was escorted by police.

Suarez, 28, was running along a waterside path around 8pm when she was stabbed in the neck.
She was on the phone to her parents before the attack and when they were cut off, they went looking for her along the path where they found her in a critical condition.
She died from her injuries in hospital.

Mohassib briefly served in the New York Police Department before leaving for the Marines, where he was deemed unfit for duty, the Post reported.
The 27-year-old worked until recently as a teacher’s aide at a public school.
The New York City Department of Education told FOX 5 that Mohassib has been suspended and will be terminated based on conviction.
